In honour of
Heather Shantz worked as a CNS with the Palliative Care Consult Service Calgary Zone from 2001 to 2019. She lived with metastatic breast cancer and died January 26, 2022. Heather was passionate about quality palliative and end of life care, mentoring, educating, learning, and sharing. She openly shared her lived experience with her colleagues, family, and friends as she navigated living with a life limiting illness in the midst of preparing for her end of life.
The Heather Shantz Memorial Lecture Fund was established by Heather to create an annual legacy lecture reflective of quality, holistic palliative and end of life care.
