The Delta Hospice Society is the only non-faith hospice provider in Fraser Health ignoring rules to offer assisted dying.

Fraser Health has met with the Delta Hospice Society to “discuss concerns we have regarding compliance of their contract,” according to a health authority spokesperson.

The society refused, instead demanding any patient who wanted to receive assistance in dying be taken to another facility. In September, 2018, Fraser Health toughened its stance by mandating hospices could not transfer a patient to another facility for MAID. Fraser Health funds 10 hospices, that includes seven of its own facilities and three under contract — including Irene Thomas.
