About the CHCA ECHO Hub

In September 2021, the CHCA announced a partnership with Pallium Canada to create a pan-Canadian Hub as part of the Palliative Care ECHO Project. The federally funded five-year initiative aims to build primary- or generalist-level capacity to provide a palliative care approach in communities and home care settings.

As the national home and community care hub partner, CHCA will lead the work to engage health care providers in building palliative care capacity across the country. Our goals for the CHCA Palliative Care ECHO Hub are to:

• Enhance frontline providers’ knowledge and skills so they can deliver high-quality palliative care.
• Improve patient/caregiver satisfaction with home-based palliative care by introducing ways to support them through their course of illness.
• Address operational gaps in home-based palliative care and promote innovative models across the country.
