We’re working to fill healthcare-related social gaps, with a special focus on end-of-life journeys for vulnerable and marginalized people.

Hospices in downtown Toronto and Windsor offer people experiencing homelessness or vulnerable housing a safe, welcoming and caring place to live their final weeks and days.

Working together with over 700 Indigenous communities and organizations, we offer advisory support to healthcare professionals in community settings.

Spiritual Care

Support for patients, caregivers, and team members at SE Health, including grief and bereavement care, helping them find peace and balance.

The Reflection Room®

Peaceful, reflective art-installations encourage visitors to share stories about grief, loss, dying, and death, with the goal of building community and supporting well-being.

Our volunteers bring caring kindness to patients, caregivers, and families, lending a helping hand when it is most needed.
