Contract issues put up barriers for some to hospice care in Kelowna

Summary by Ground News
Contract issues at the Central Okanagan Hospice House means some patients will be unable to enter the facility, and will instead have to spend their final days in an overcrowded hospital. Since June 30, a group of family physicians in Kelowna who supported the palliative care needs of doctorless patients entering the hospice has been without a contract. Those who follow their patients into hospice typically do it on compassionate grounds after building up a relationship with a patient over years.
