Board membership is designed to reflect and represent the interests of patients and families throughout our region. It is comprised of professional and geographic representation to ensure that both the operation of the Hospice and the connection to communities throughout Grey and Bruce is sustained. Our Board includes a variety of skillsets including palliative care specialists, finances, bio-ethics, etc.
In March 2024 the Board approved the 2024-2027 Strategic Plan. An Annual Action Plan outlines how the Board, staff and volunteers intend to achieve aspects of this Plan.
The Fiscal 2025 budget is a balanced budget and will direct the activities of the organization. Read some of the highlights of this budget.
