What is PaCES?

"I will be forever grateful for the many acts of kindness, both big and small — that reassured both of us that we weren't alone, that others cared, and that her life was honoured and respected to its end." — PaCES Patient/Family Advisor, on her mother's journey with cancer

 

PaCES is a province-wide team of researchers and knowledge end-users working together to implement evidence-based practices for delivering early and systematic palliative care for Albertans living with serious illness. We are funded by grants from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Alberta Health, and the MSI Foundation. We aim to improve patient outcomes and health system inefficiencies, by increasing the number of patients receiving earlier palliative care.
