Advocacy
As part of the 2020 Ontario government pre-budget consultation, Hospice Care Ottawa made a submission to support increased funding for hospices. We have asked the Ontario government to change the funding formula so that 100% of clinical costs are covered. Right now our hospice receives less than 60% of our costs from the government leaving us to face the enormous task of fundraising the remaining amount to pay staff and provide services.
You can help advocate
We encourage you to be vocal about our needs for increased funding for hospice palliative care and why hospice care is so important in our community. Ultimately it is our Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs) who will vote on whether increased funding for hospices will be made available. You can help by connecting with your local MPP and urging them to support this funding in the next Ontario Budget.
