What is Foothills Country Hospice Society?
The Foothills Country Hospice Society (FCHS) is a grassroots community sponsored organization dedicated to providing expert compassionate care to people who are terminally ill and to their families. FCHS is directed by a volunteer board of directors and is a registered charity and not for profit Society. The Board’s primary work to date has been to establish a vision, raise funds and awareness, and to ultimately design and build one of the first rural, purpose-built, free standing adult Hospice homes in Canada. On January 28, 2008, the Foothills Country Hospice accepted its first patient. The fruition of the Board’s vision has been realized through the dedication and effort of over 100 volunteers from the Foothills area south of Calgary, Alberta.
