“What has surprised me is how little palliative care has to do with death. The death part is almost irrelevant. Our focus isn’t on dying. Our focus is on quality of life.”
—Dr Balfour Mount
Dr Balfour Mount is the founding father of palliative care in Canada. He trained in urology at McGill University and in surgical oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
