HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NOVA LEAP HEALTH CORP. (TSXV: NLH) (“Nova Leap” or “the Company”), a provider of home-based and community-based healthcare services across North America, today announced the launch of a dedicated Palliative Care division in Nova Scotia, delivered through its wholly owned subsidiary, Earth Angels Home Care.

The new division expands Earth Angels’ role within the continuum of care by providing person and family-centred palliative support for individuals living with life-limiting illness, with a focus on comfort, dignity, and quality of life in the home setting.

Article content
Nova Scotia faces growing demand for palliative care services as the population ages and more Canadians express a desire to receive end-of-life care at home. Nationally, while the majority of Canadians wish to die at home, access to coordinated home-based palliative care remains limited. Nova Leap believes home care providers are uniquely positioned to help close this gap by working alongside families, clinicians, and the broader healthcare system.

- Close coordination with families, primary care providers, and existing healthcare teams;
- Staff training aligned with nationally recognized palliative care competency frameworks, with a focus on communication, care planning and emotionally supportive care in the home; and
- A compassionate, culturally sensitive approach consistent with the Framework on Palliative Care in Canada.

The Company views this launch as a natural extension of Earth Angels’ longstanding presence in Nova Scotia and its commitment to enabling seniors and individuals with complex needs to remain safely at home for as long as possible, supported by coordinated, home-based services.

“Palliative care is about much more than end-of-life care alone. It’s about quality of life, dignity, and support for both individuals and their families,” said Chris Dobbin, President & CEO of Nova Leap. “By launching this division through Earth Angels, we are building on a trusted local platform and responding thoughtfully to a clear and growing need in Nova Scotia. This is an important step in Nova Leap’s broader strategy to support Canadians across the full continuum of care.”

“Families want compassionate, reliable support at home during some of life’s most difficult moments,” said Jill Dobbin, President of Earth Angels Home Care. “This new palliative care division allows us to deepen the care we provide in Nova Scotia, ensuring clients and families feel supported, respected, and never alone. Our team is committed to delivering care that reflects national best practices while remaining grounded in the communities we serve.”
Article content
Nova Leap expects the palliative care division to evolve thoughtfully over time, with an emphasis on quality, workforce readiness, and collaboration with healthcare partners. While the initial launch is focused on Nova Scotia, the Company believes the model may be scalable to other Canadian jurisdictions in the future, subject to provincial frameworks and local needs.
