Founded in 1989, Hospice Dufferin (HDUF) provides palliative care and wellness programs to people suffering from life-threatening diseases as well as bereavement programs for their families. The charity operates to provide peace, comfort, and dignity for all those with life-limiting illnesses. HDUF served 462 clients in F2017. The charity estimates that another 1,600 residents in Dufferin could benefit from palliative care but never receive hospice services.
