Hospice Muskoka reflects on 30 years of providing care

Thursday, 12 November 2026 at 08:29

The facility established the model that is in use throughout the province

Hospice Muskoka is marking National Nurse Practitioner Week by reflecting on nearly 30 years of providing specialized palliative care in the region.

The organization opened in 1995 as Ontario’s first nurse practitioner-led hospice, helping establish a model that has since expanded across the province.

Its services have grown in recent years, with the opening of the 10-bed Andy’s House in 2020 and the launch of Andy’s House at Home, bringing palliative care directly to people in their own homes.

Hospice Muskoka now supports more than 500 individuals and families across the region each year.
