HospiceSagen

HospiceSagen is a nationwide, membership-based Danish association working to ensure that everyone, regardless of who they are or where they live, can have a dignified end of life. It brings together volunteers, professionals and relatives who share a commitment to strengthening hospices and improving access to high-quality palliative care across Denmark. The association advocates for greater recognition of hospice care and palliative support in public policy, healthcare and society, and highlights inequalities in access to specialist services.

HospiceSagen provides information and guidance for patients and families, including how hospice admission works, eligibility criteria, support for relatives, and resources for children and young people coping with bereavement. Its website also offers facts, research, policy materials, news and stories from volunteers, as well as a guide to finding hospices, support associations and children’s hospices in Denmark. The association welcomes volunteers, holds events and seminars, and invites people to support its work through donations. Its mission is to promote care, comfort, respect and dignity throughout life’s final chapter.
