For the last 24 years we have been known as Hospice of Peel. We felt it was time to freshen our message and help people to better understand our role and contribution in the community. So, on June 22, 2009 we announced our new name Heart House Hospice our new logo and our new look and feel. The idea of a Hospice began in 1985 when Ms. Laurie Bennett, a palliative care professional at a local hospital, realized the need for a community service to help her clients be at home at the end of their lives. She organized it on her dining room table that year with one client volunteer training program and 18 terminally ill clients who were served in their home. Today we serve over 1000 clients annually and thousands of family and loved ones throughout Mississauga and Brampton. People of all ages and over 13 ethnic cultures use our services. Since the beginning we have cared for over 8,300 terminally ill clients. And the need continues to grow.
