Upper Clutha Palliative Care Trust
Community Health Service
Description
The Upper Clutha Palliative Care Trust (formerly the Upper Clutha Hospice Trust) was formed by a group of Wānaka residents to develop palliative and respite care in the Upper Clutha for the benefit of those suffering from terminal illnesses.
The Trust’s concept is to provide facilities and support for the terminally ill that is not provided by other parties in the Upper Clutha. The Trust works alongside other service providers such as the Otago Community Hospice, the Cancer Society, GP's, Aged Care providers etc to augment what is available to Upper Clutha residents.
On September 30, 2016, the Trust opened its Stina Mooyman Palliative & Respite Care Suite in the Aspiring Enliven Care Centre on Cardrona Valley Road in Wānaka, adjacent to the Wānaka Medical Centre (now the Aspiring Care Centre).
The UCPCT is a registered charity with the Charities Commission number CC49439
The UCPCT is an independent Upper Clutha organisation and all funds raised are used to the benefit of the Upper Clutha community. Although it works with the Otago Community Hospice (OCH) to support terminally ill patients in the Upper Clutha, the UCPCT is not part of the OCH and is not affiliated with Hospice NZ.
