ABOUT CROSSROADS
HOSPICE SOCIETY
Your Community Hospice
Crossroads Hospice Society was established in 1988 to serve the communities of Anmore, Belcarra, Coquitlam, New Westminster, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody. The Society's aim is to provide care that values life until the moment it ends. We believe that every life has meaning and purpose and we strive to fill each remaining day with comfort and dignity.
At Crossroads we believe that the end of life should not be frightening, painful or lonely. In an atmosphere of love and concern it can be a rich and rewarding experience whether at home, in the hospital, or in hospice. Crossroads volunteers and staff provide life-affirming care for patients and their families, helping them with emotional, physical, and spiritual concerns that often arise as the end of life approaches.
Our Mission
Crossroads Hospice Society provides compassionate care and support to people with life-limiting illness and their families, and offers support to individuals who are grieving the loss of a loved one.
Crossroads has a strong volunteer component with over 132 active trained volunteers who work with patients and families, up to 98 volunteers who operate the Hospice Thrift Store. A 14-member volunteer board of directors governs the Society and there is a staff of 18.
