Help hospice society create lasting legacy for the future

-

The Central Okanagan Hospice Associatio­n (COHA) has been supporting the Central Okanagan, from Peachland to Lake Country, for over 38 years. COHA is committed to helping people with a life-limiting illness live to the fullest until they die, and to help their loved one be supported in their grief.

Profession­al staff and trained volunteers support individual­s and families in the Central Okanagan, in private homes, in Hospice House, long-term care facilities, and in the hospital.

Our support complement­s the medical care received, to create as much normalcy as possible.

COHA is proud to provide necessary resources to the Central Okanagan community at no cost.

This includes bereavemen­t and grief counseling, grief groups, volunteer support programs, caregiver support, and wellness programs.

COHA relies upon donations from our community to continue to provide these vital programs.

Many individual­s choose to support charities throughout their lives, so they can help their community and those around them.

In this way, they can see the difference that they make; however, donors also want to ensure the continuity of charities, programs and services, after they are gone.

Legacy giving provides an opportunit­y for donors to leave a substantia­l gift to a charity. By leaving a gift in your will, you can create a lasting legacy for the future.

At COHA, legacy gifts ensure that a community is created in which no one has to die or grieve alone.

If you would like to leave a legacy gift to COHA, please visit hospicecoh­a.org or call 250-763-5511.
