Imagine a community coming together, step by step, heart by heart, to ensure that Nipissing Serenity Hospice, a place of peace, comfort, and compassion can continue to provide end-of-life care during a family’s most vulnerable moments.
Nipissing Serenity Hospice is a 10-bed residence which opened in January 2020 to offer end-of-life services to individuals and grief and bereavement supports to their loved ones.
“Hike for Hospice”, their cornerstone fundraising event isn’t just about putting one foot in front of the other; it’s about joining together to sustain a sanctuary that touches countless lives in Nipissing District and East Parry Sound.
The “Hike for Hospice” draws people from all walks of life, who understand the importance of having a place where end-of-life care is approached with dignity and respect. It’s an event when the community literally takes steps to ensure that Nipissing Serenity Hospice can continue the important work it does to provide care and comfort to individuals and their families. Executive Director Gil Pharand says, “Although we are partially funded by the provincial government, we still need to raise about $800,000 annually to support day-to-day operations. The hospice relies on the generosity of our community and 100% of the funds raised remain in our community.”
