From the Beehive E60 - Hospice of Elgin

Welcome back to another From the Beehive update!

Today, we are checking in to see the construction progress at Hospice of Elgin!

In this video, Mike from St. Thomas Economic Development is on location with Laura, the Interim Executive Director of Hospice of Elgin. Together, they walk us through the exciting progress of this vital project, which has been over a decade in the making. This 17,000-square-foot facility, set to open its doors in summer 2025, will be Elgin County's very first hospice, offering expert specialized palliative care in a warm, community-focused environment. Laura explains what hospice care truly means—it's not just about the end of life but about creating a space that honours what matters most in those final days.

Construction is moving swiftly, thanks to the hard work of their general contractor, Graceview Enterprises, and the tremendous support from the local community. While incredible strides have been made, there's still more to be done. The Hospice of Elgin team calls on our community to help furnish and equip the hospice to make it a true home for those in need. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.
