Palliative Advocacy Care Team
The Palliative Advocacy Care Team (PACT) is a group of dedicated organizations and healthcare workers who assist individuals who are vulnerably-housed and have a life-limiting diagnosis.

- Raise awareness
- Drive systemic change
- Enhance healthcare understanding
- Facilitate access
- Strengthen collaboration
- Promote advocacy
