THE ANNUAL HOLIDAY CAMPAIGN
We are currently hosting its Annual Campaign until December 31, 2021. This year's request for support is for the development of the Suites at Evergreen and the increasing demand for our programs and services offered at no cost to our community and area.

Fee for Service
The fee is private pay. Due to lack of government funding, we developed this collaboration to keep the fees as low as possible for our community. All other services are offered by the CR Hospice Society at no charge. The Campbell River Hospice Society fundraises to help subsidize the fee for the suites when possible.
You can make a donation or leave a legacy to help subsidize these suites.
Admission Process
You can start the process by completing the Admission Application: online, printing a copy or pick-up an application at the Campbell River Hospice Society 440 Evergreen Road.
