Designed to ease end-of-life care burdens on families, the hospice will offer shared resources, volunteer support, and professional care, cutting costs compared to at-home nursing. Essential equipment like hospital beds and a high-tech wheelchair are already donated. Despite labor challenges and rising expenses, groundbreaking is targeted for early next year, with a two-year buildout. Beyond the building, the Barbados Association for Cancer Advocacy is mapping patient journeys and supporting survivors—proving recovery is possible after treatment.
