Dorothy Ley Hospice

We are Dorothy Ley Hospice

We’ve been caring for community members in Etobicoke, West Toronto and Mississauga for more than 35 years. As one of Ontario’s oldest and most established hospices, we’re helping to lead the future of hospice palliative care.

We offer community and hospice residential palliative care, as well as grief and bereavement support. Our services are provided at no cost to individuals through the generosity of community members and corporate donors, community grants and government funding. Our compassionate team of palliative care physicians, nurses, staff, and volunteers provides support and care to over 2,000 individuals annually.

Land acknowledgment

Dorothy Ley Hospice and the communities we serve are located on the traditional lands of several Indigenous nations: the Wendat, the Anishnaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Métis, and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.

The territory is governed by Treaty 13 and the Dish With One Spoon Covenant, which is an ongoing peace agreement between many Indigenous nations to share the land, taking no more than is needed, leaving enough for others, and taking care of the land for generations to come.

We acknowledge all who have been displaced by generations of international colonialism and are grateful for the Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are with us today, those who have gone before us and the youth that inspire us for tomorrow.
