Ontario Expanding Access to Palliative Care

The government is connecting more people to comfortable and dignified end-of-life care, close to their community and loved ones by investing up to $19.75 million to add 84 new adult hospice beds across the province. This expansion will bring the total number of publicly funded hospice beds across Ontario to 768.

A call for applications for the new adult hospice beds opens today until October 18, with beds expected to be operational by 2027. Existing hospice residences or other applicants who wish to develop or expand new hospice beds can reach out to their local Ontario Health Region for details.

Once hospice beds have been allocated, our office will reach out to individual Caucus Members of the riding where the new hospice beds will be added.
