Honouring Lives. Guiding Legacies. Building a National Centre from Experience.

At Saint Elizabeth Foundation | SE Health, our National Centre for Equity and Innovation in End of Life Care was not imagined in a boardroom, it was born from lived experience.

Over decades (since 1908) of walking alongside people and families through life’s most sacred and vulnerable moments, we have learned what compassionate care truly means. We’ve seen the power of presence, dignity, and love — and we’ve seen the inequities that persist across our country.

From those experiences, a vision emerged: to create a national hub where excellence in hospice palliative care is advanced through education, research, and innovation — and where the wisdom of caregivers, clinicians, and communities shapes the future of care.

Our National Centre is:

• A space for collaboration — connecting leaders, learners, and communities of care.
• A bridge between practice and policy — ensuring no voice or insight is lost.
• A commitment to equity — so that compassionate, specialized care is accessible wherever you live.

This work is deeply personal. It is rooted in every hand we’ve held, every story we’ve heard, and every life we’ve been privileged to accompany in places people call home across Canada and also at our Journey Home Hospice sites.

Because every life matters, to the very last moment.
