The Temmy Latner Centre for Palliative Care (TLCPC) is dedicated to the relief of suffering and the improvement of quality of life. In addition, the Centre is actively involved in furthering palliative care services at a local, provincial, and national level.

Members of the Centre are respected and renowned leaders in the development and implementation of unique and innovative palliative care programs. They are recognized authorities in the areas of standards of practice, wound care management, education, pain and symptom control, and grief and bereavement counselling.

Palliative care is the combination of active and compassionate therapies aimed at reducing the symptoms and suffering of individuals and families facing a life-threatening illness. It strives to meet physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs while remaining sensitive to personal, cultural, and religious values, beliefs, and practices.

Patients diagnosed with a life-threatening illness find that palliative care can help them, whether or not they are receiving anti-disease treatment. Most people find that their quality of life is improved when symptoms and suffering have been addressed.

In addition to medical care in home or in hospital, we can provide the individual and/or family member(s) with counselling support. Palliative care professionals work together with the patients' existing doctors, nurses, and other caregivers to provide them with the very best palliative care possible.
