Our hospices

Providence Health Care is known for our compassionate care throughout the lifetime of those we care for. While we also provide palliative care at some of our other settings, we operate two dedicated hospices. 

These are special places where we support people to live well as long as possible in community. Our hospice personnel include nurses, doctors, counsellors and pastoral care providers, as well as a large group of volunteers to provide extra support.

May’s Place Hospice specializes in providing end-of-life care to individuals who live with complex medical and social needs. May’s Place is a small, intimate hospice with six private rooms.

May's Place is located in the heart of the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver.

St. John Hospice is a 14-bed hospice with a home-like setting and 24-hour nursing care. The dedicated staff offers supportive end-of-life care for people with life-limiting illnesses.

St. John Hospice is located on the beautiful campus at the University of British Columbia and is surrounded by campus amenities.
