Who We Are and Why it Matters

The Central Okanagan Hospice Association (COHA) exists to ensure that no one in our community has to face death or grief alone. For over 43 years, we have walked alongside individuals and families, offering emotional, practical, and spiritual support through some of life’s most difficult moments. From comfort at the bedside to guidance through grief, we are here to provide care without financial or social barriers.

Serving communities from Peachland to Lake Country, we reach people wherever they are—whether in Kelowna Hospice House, hospital, residential care, at home, or at the COHA August Centre, our trained and compassionate volunteers and professionals are there every step of the way.

We are a registered, not for profit organization heavily relying on donations. Together, we help ensure dignity, comfort, and connection for all who need us.

Mission: The Central Okanagan Hospice Association's mission is offering compassionate care, comfort, support, and learning to those who are dying or grieving within our community. 

Vision: The Central Okanagan Hospice Association is creating a community where no one has to die or grieve alone.
