Established in 1098, the Order of St. Lazarus is one of the oldest Orders of Chivalry in the world. Since it's establishment in 1972, The Military and Hospitaller Order of St. Lazarus of Jerusalem - Edmonton Commandery has devoted its energy to passionately advocating for the sick and dying and to those living with HIV / AIDS. Find out how you can contribute to the future of someone in need through monetary donations or volunteer opportunities.
Norwood Palliative Care has been the recipient of funds from The Order of St. Lazarus Edmonton Commandery for the renovation of rooms for end of life care. We want families to feel comfortable while visiting their loved one and sometimes that means spending one night, or many nights by their side. Our new rooms have Murphy Beds, cupboards, dimmer switch lighting, beautiful decorations, comfortable beds with linens, comfort carts with tea and coffee, and each room is decorated beautifully. It is definitely well received and appreciated by so many.
