Palliative Care in Rwanda
Click here to view our short documentary video made by HWB volunteer Margo Hill. The video provides a nearly 11 minute snapshot of our work in Rwanda.
Since 2010, Hospice Without Borders has partnered with the Rwandan Ministry of Health as well as local and international NGOs to improve culturally appropriate access to home based hospice and palliative care clinical services, pain control (meaning oral morphine solution made by the Rwandan government), palliative care education, and bereavement support initiatives.
Palliative Care outreach
Street Outreach in Olympia Washington. This is one of our board members and volunteers, Rose Flannigan, gifting a memory quilt to a shelter guest and long time friend Doug, who had at the time of this photograph recently lost his spouse Minnie to illness. Rose's spouse had also recently died...they held that loss in common.
Rose said in their moment of shared loss, "Doug and I were the same...Two grieving human beings who had just lost the most important person in our lives, and that quilt bound us together."
