Vancouver Hospice Society

Today was a special day at VHS. Our gifted Quilt Angels dropped by to deliver these beautiful hand made quilts. They bring warmth, colour and comfort to our patients and their families, as well as making our hospice feel like home. We cannot thank them enough for their skill, time, devotion and care.

Wishing our amazing staff, volunteers, board members, and community of supporters, a healthy and peaceful New Year. We could not have made it through 2020 without you.
