A good birth. A good life. And a good death”

WE ALL DESERVE A BETTER ENDING

Hospice palliative care…

…focuses on living well until the end, not just on dying

…is for people of all ages, from infancy to adulthood

…is offered in many places, including hospitals, long-term care facilities and in your home

…helps family members, caregivers and friends experiencing grief and loss

THE NEED IN VAUGHAN

Vaughan needs hospice palliative care close to home.

Vaughan is one of the most rapidly growing cities in Canada.

Palliative care clients from Vaughan typically die in hospital outside of our community.

As they count down their final days, those seeking residential hospice care must leave our city.

OUR GOAL: $10M – HELP US BUILD IT

 

$2,200,000

Hospice Vaughan will serve as a hospice palliative care service hub, filling a significant health gap in our community.
