Irish eyes were smiling on our patients yesterday as they were treated to a #StPatricksDay celebration by our team members. Pot of gold cupcakes, a BBQ lunch & sandwiches on green marbled bread were just some of delights our little leprechauns prepared.

This coming Monday, March 25 join Nancy Lefebre & Dr. Harvey Max Chochinov for the LongwoodsNotes Breakfast Series to discuss the role of dignity in end-of-life care and how person-focused care can help to improve patient experience. Register here: longwoods.com/events/longwoo…

Hippity, hoppity! Some very special bunnies came to visit our patients at both sites this weekend. Not only did these visits bring smiles to the faces of our patients & their loved ones, but they also got to enjoy sweet treats for the occasion! #HopeAndHappiness #ThisIsHospice

Today, Saint Elizabeth Foundation hosted the Specialized Hospice Palliative Care for Structurally Vulnerable Populations: An Inaugural International Knowledge Exchange. We brought together leaders from across Canada to discuss care for structurally vulnerable populations at end-of-life.

Lest we forget...

No one wants to die alone, especially alone on the street. Journey Home Hospice, a program of Saint Elizabeth Foundation, was founded in 2018 to offer specialized hospice palliative care for this very reason. Find out more: tvo.org/video/the-last… #hospice #homeless #healthequity #palliativecare
