Everyday Matters —
Hope for Hospice Care
Community donations make up the foundation of our budget and help us provide palliative care resources such as in-home hospital beds, printed resources for palliative care clients, education workshops, and a biannual memorial service for the community.
A Legacy of Generosity
Honour the memory of a loved one by making a donation in their name. Your contribution will support compassionate care, essential services, and comfort for those in need.
We wish to acknowledge the donations made to Prairie Rose Hospice Palliative Care Society by the following individuals in support of palliative care activities. Your contributions have brought comfort, care, and hope to countless individuals and families in Brooks and the surrounding area. All funds raised stay in the community to enhance local palliative care services. The supporters and volunteers of Prairie Rose Hospice Palliative Care Society would love to one day see fully funded hospice care in partnership with community resources for Brooks and area. “Hope for Hospice Care” aims to make that dream realized.
