A Manitoba family is calling for the expansion of hospice and palliative care services in the Interlake-Eastern Health Region after a loved one with a terminal illness was sent to a nursing home because no hospice care was available.
You’ve already got enough,” said Victoria Porayk, who is calling for hospice care in the Interlake region.
In a statement, the Interlake-Eastern Health Region said equitable access to palliative care requires a broader approach.
“Given the geographical realities and a widely dispersed population in the Interlake-Eastern health region, equitable access to palliative care requires a regional, integrated approach rather than a single-location solution,” the statement said.
Kaltenberger launched a petition in March 2025 calling for the expansion of palliative care in the Interlake-Eastern Health Region.
