Heath is a very special and important part of our Hospice family and he needs your help.

Canterbury, Timaru District

If you have ever been a patient or a family member spending time in Hospice, you would have encountered Heath our Hospice furry carer.

Heath helps us make our inpatient unit more like home, and he is simply incredible at it. Heath makes impressions on people's lives, not just patients but family members as well. He has the uncanny ability to know who would appreciate his company at any one time, and then he totally devotes himself to them. He receives his own mail from very appreciative family members.

Heath is a very special and important part of our Hospice family.

Currently Heath is not feeling the best - he needs his teeth looked at and cleaned and this is a costly exercise at $600. We need your help to bring Heath back to his best, so he can continue enhancing the lives of our patients.
