HealthPRO Canada is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with Hospice Palliative Care Ontario (HPCO). Through this collaboration, more than 140 hospice programs across Ontario will benefit from cost savings and improved operational performance by tapping into HealthPRO Canada’s national group purchasing power.  

“This is a significant step forward in supporting Ontario’s hospices,” says Rick Firth, President & CEO, Hospice Palliative Care Ontario. “Through this partnership with HealthPRO Canada, we’re giving our members access to tools and services that will allow them to deliver even more sustainable, high-quality care to the people and families they serve.” 

The two organizations will work together to drive cost savings by enabling hospice programs to access competitively sourced contracts. The partnership will help streamline operations, reducing the administrative burden of procurement so that hospice organizations can allocate more resources to frontline care. It will also promote innovation by identifying and supporting Canadian-made and innovative solutions that address the unique needs of hospice and palliative care providers. 

“This partnership reflects HealthPRO Canada’s ongoing commitment to strengthening care across the full healthcare continuum — including the vital, compassionate work being done in hospice settings,” says Christine Donaldson, President & CEO of HealthPRO Canada. “By supporting HPCO and its members, we’re proud to help ensure hospice providers can spend less time on procurement and more time on what matters most — improving the quality of life for patients and their families as they face life-threatening illness.”
