Our programs are there to provide tangible items so patients and their families feel more at home. People impacted include, but are not limited to, paediatric patients, oncology patients, palliative care patients, families of patients facing a life-altering illness or chronic disease and hospital staff. Our programs are a critical part of a patient and their family’s journey. Each program has been implemented as a direct response to the community’s needs and each is geared towards making patients feel as if they are in the comforts of their own home.
