Hospice Leadership & |
|

BCHPCA's Hospice Leadership & Governance Learning Program (HLGLP) is a six month provincial learning collaborative designed to strengthen governance, leadership capacity, and organizational sustainability within community hospice societies across British Columbia and the Yukon. Bringing together Executive Directors, senior leaders, Board Chairs, Vice Chairs, and emerging hospice leaders, the program creates a shared space to learn, reflect, exchange experiences, and strengthen the organizations that support people and families through serious illness, dying, death, grief, and bereavement. |
Hospice societies are essential community partners, providing compassionate care and support to individuals and families across British Columbia and the Yukon.
Behind this care are dedicated Boards, staff, volunteers, and leaders navigating increasingly complex challenges, including financial pressures, workforce capacity, volunteer recruitment, governance responsibilities, community partnerships, and long-term sustainability.
Strong governance creates the conditions for compassionate hospice care to thrive.
The HLGLP supports hospice leaders in navigating these realities with greater confidence, strengthening their leadership practices, and building healthy, resilient organizations that remain connected to the communities they serve.
Six months. Six learning sessions. One shared commitment to stronger hospice leadership.

Learning From One AnotherThe HLGLP is built on the knowledge, experience, and collective strengths of BC' and Yukon's hospice sector. Through facilitated discussions, practical resources, real governance scenarios, and peer exchange, participants explore the opportunities and challenges of leading community hospice organizations. The program draws on the LEADS in a Caring Environment Framework to connect individual leadership, healthy organizations, partnerships, and systems-level thinking. Our goal is not simply to strengthen individual leaders, but to strengthen hospice leadership and governance across British Columbia and hte Yukon.
