Hospice Heroes

Over the next eight weeks, a powerful new documentary series on Three and ThreeNow will shine a light on the heart of Tōtara Hospice – its people.

The title — Hospice Heroes — is humbling, because while our staff are dedicated and compassionate, the true heroes are our patients, their families, and the wider community that stands behind them. This series shares their stories — real people, real moments — in all their honesty, vulnerability, and quiet strength.

The series offers a rare and intimate glimpse behind the scenes of hospice into the lives of those living with terminal illness, their loved ones, the people who care for them, the volunteers and support staff who together bring humanity and heart to caring. 

You’ll see what living well and dying well looks like. You’ll see a hospice that belongs to its community, and you’ll see how compassion can transform even the most difficult days.

We invite you to tune in, be moved and inspired.  And then, if you can, be a Hospice Hero by donating and joining our cause, because making the world a better place for dying people takes all of us.
