Meet the CEO's
In October 2024, Hospices of Hope proudly hosted its first in-person network conference —a milestone moment for our organisation. This long-anticipated gathering brought together our hospice partners, loyal supporters, and our dedicated team, creating a space to exchange expertise, share stories, and connect.
The conference provided each partner with a platform to present their organisation’s achievements and challenges, creating a deeper understanding of shared issues. Many partners face similar obstacles, including limited funds and government recognition of palliative care and the urgent needs of patients not only with cancer but also with rare and life-limiting illnesses. It was a powerful reminder that advancing progress requires prioritisng the recognition and support of palliative care across these regions.
One of the most moving moments came from our Ukraine Country Manager, Asya, who highlighted the unique and challenges Ukraine faces due to the ongoing war. These include significant funding cuts, a shrinking younger population, as well as both soldiers and an aging generation requiring greater care—it really showcased the immense resilience and dedication of our partners in such difficult circumstances.
We’re incredibly grateful for the time and commitment everyone gave, and we all left the week feeling inspired and more motivated than ever to reach our shared goals. We can’t wait to keep you updated on the progress we’re making together, thanks to your incredible support.
