The Champlain Hospice Palliative Care Program (CHPCP) helps to lead the development and support of a person and family-centered, integrated, hospice palliative care system in the region.

Our priorities are guided by the work of the Ontario Palliative Care Network (OPCN) and the provincial Action Plan (https://www.ontariopalliativecarenetwork.ca/en/node/31851).

Over the next three years, CHPCP will continue working to strengthen earlier and more equitable access to end-of-life and palliative care services; enhance connections across care settings and between providers; and to improve the patient and caregiver experience.

In order to confirm and address our regional priorities, we would like your input on eight key questions. Most of the questions are open-ended so that you can share your experiences and observations. The survey should take approximately 15-20 minutes depending on how much you write.  Thank you for contributing.
