The Dah-Der Hospice and Palliative Care Development Foundation was established from the vision and dedication of the Dah-Der Hospice Ward at Taipei Veterans General Hospital. Since its founding in 1997, the Dah-Der Ward has been devoted to promoting the philosophy of hospice and palliative care, accompanying countless patients and their families through the final stages of life.
To continue this spirit of compassion and to enhance public understanding and support for hospice care, the Foundation was established to further advance hospice development and to assist more patients in need of end-of-life care.

Mission
