"I have seen first hand how Hospice works when they cared for a close friend. It is truly an amazing place and I consider it an honour for me to be the Patron of North Shore Hospice"

North Shore Hospice is committed to making each day the best day possible. We know that time is the most valuable thing in a person's life, especially when that time is very limited. That is why we try to help our patients and their families have the best possible time with their loved ones, regardless of how long or short that time might be. It also means that we will be there for those who are left behind after their loved one has died.
