Bethell Hospice has received Accreditation status for a three year term through Hospice Palliative Care Ontario.
Accreditation is a provincial benchmark for Ontario hospice palliative care programs, recognizing highest service standards and best practices.
The goal of HPCO’s Accreditation Program is to ensure the delivery of consistent, high quality hospice palliative care services throughout Ontario.
The process of achieving accreditation required the Bethell Hospice team, with the support and input from staff, volunteers, clients and family members to engage in a comprehensive review of all services, comparing Bethell Hospice practices to those of the HPCO standards.
“The HPCO review has resulted in a 3 year accreditation status and validated Bethell Hospice’s pursuit of excellent person-centered palliative care.” said Bethell Hospice Board Chair, Lynn Dobson.
“Achieving such a lofty goal during a pandemic makes the result even more meaningful and valued. These have been challenging times and the Bethell Team has clearly met the challenge and excelled. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to acknowledge the excellent teamwork, devotion and dedication of our Leadership Team, staff and volunteers.”
Bethell Hospice is the only residential hospice serving all of Caledon, Brampton, and Dufferin County.
