VON Durham provides support to individuals and families facing life-limiting diagnoses, advanced illness, death, and bereavement.
Live Every Day
VON Durham Hospice Services is a not-for-profit organization that serves individuals in Durham Region and their families facing advanced illness, death, grief and bereavement through volunteer based Palliative Care, Caregiver Support, Bereavement Support, Community Awareness, and Fundraising Services. We are fortunate to have more than 200 volunteers at VON Durham who donate approximately 11,000 hours of service to 550 individuals and their families.
VON Durham offers a Palliative Care Community Team (PCCT) who, along with the individual’s Circle of Care, provides holistic person-centred palliative care to individuals from early diagnosis through to bereavement.
Our staff and trained volunteers work in partnership with community health care professionals and other service providers in an effort to enhance the quality of client care.
Our volunteers are rigorously screened and trained to assist individuals benefiting from a palliative care approach, at home, in hospital, or Long-Term Care.
Each individual journey with grief and bereavement is different, and some may find they need support in the days, weeks, months or years after a loss has occurred. VON Durham Hospice Services can support bereaved individuals in connecting with highly trained volunteers who have experienced a similar loss.
We strongly believe that clients and their families have the right to make informed decisions about their care.
