The Story

Challenge

Since 2005 St. Joseph’s Hospice has served the Sarnia-Lambton community as a resource centre for terminally ill people as they face their illnesses and support programs for people caring for or grieving the loss of a loved one.

In response to community need, the organization expanded its services in late 2009 to include the Residential Hospice, a 10-suite, home-like residence that provides, free-of-charge, 24-hour specialized palliative care to people living with a terminal illness, as well as those in their life circle.

Solution

The Judith & Norman Alix Foundation donates $20,000 per year to St. Joseph’s Hospice to be used as needed in the operation of its organization.

 

Result

Along with its highly skilled professional staff, 375 volunteers, St. Joseph’s Hospice helps hundreds of families each year dealing with life’s greatest challenges.
