About this organization
Nipissing Serenity Hospice (NSH) supports the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association (CHPCA) and the Canadian Society of Palliative Care Physicians (CSPCP) joint statement in their clarification of the relationship of hospice palliative care and MAiD. It is clear in its understanding that these two practices are fundamentally different and where MAiD is not part of hospice palliative care. It is not an extension of palliative care[i] nor is it one of the tools in the palliative care basket.[ii] National and international hospice palliative care organizations are unified in the position that MAiD is not part of the practice of hospice palliative care.[iii][iv][v][vi][vii][viii][ix][x] Hospice palliative care and MAiD substantially differ in multiple areas including in philosophy, intention and approach.[xi] Hospice palliative care focuses on improving quality of life and symptom management through holistic person-centered care for those living with life threatening conditions.
