Canon Hospice is making a difference in our community by providing quality end of life care to those seeking
comfort and dignity while dealing with a life limiting illness. Care is provided by skilled hospice professionals
who specialize in pain and symptom management.
Canon’s community involvement is extended even further through the non-profit Akula Foundation.
The foundation sponsors:
• Camp Swan, a children’s bereavement camp held three times a year, in Biloxi in the spring, Baton Rouge in
the summer and the Northshore of New Orleans in the fall.
• The Canon Hospice Health Hour of New Orleans airs each Saturday from Noon – 1pm on WGSO 990 AM.
• The Grief Resource Center (GRC) offers education inservices to health care professions, free of charge,
throughout the year. In addition the GRC offers grief support to anyone in the community experiencing any
type of loss.
All Foundation services are free and open to the public. For information about Canon Hospice, Camp Swan,
