HOME VISITING HUB
Pilgrims Hospice Society is pleased to launch our Home Visiting Hub Program, which now includes Home Visits from Primary Palliative Care Physicians. This service is intended to bridge the gap for those living with a life threatening progressive illness at home who do not have access to a primary care provider.
MEET OUR TEAM
We have an excellent team of physicians and allied healthcare staff that support clients throughout all of Edmonton. They work closely with the palliative homecare nursing team and palliative care specialists here in Edmonton to support clients during their journey with a life-threatening and progressive illness.
