Hospice Northwest Services Making Moments Matter Hospice Northwest is a hospice without walls. We define hospice as a philosophy of care, rather than a place.

Hospice Northwest: A Leader in Providing Caring Companionship

At Hospice Northwest, we strive to help our clients make every moment matter by offering comfort, support and a sense of connection to families and clients who are dealing with a life limiting illness or struggling with grief. Our specially trained palliative care volunteers provide emotional and spiritual support for clients and their families in their homes, hospitals or long-term-care facilities. Hospice Northwest is honoured to serve approximately 350 end-of-life clients and their families each year. Hospice Northwest is a not-for-profit charity, managed by Executive Director, Communications Coordinator and Manager of Client and Volunteer Services and governed by a dedicated volunteer board of directors. We comply with all current principles of palliative care service, and collaborate with other palliative care providers in Thunder Bay and District to ensure an effective, holistic approach to client care. At Hospice Northwest, we help you make every moment matter.

10/10/2026

Over 20 million people die every year in unnecessary pain. Not due to a lack of medicine or knowledge, but because of systems, policies, and stigma.

Today is World Hospice and Palliative Care Day. This year's theme is Pain Management: An Essential Part of Palliative Care. 🌍

Pain relief is not optional. It is not a luxury. It is the most basic promise of care. Today, we stand with patients, families, and health workers to say: no one should die in preventable pain.

What does Hospice mean to you? ❤️

Over the past 40 years, the words we used to describe Hospice Northwest have evolved.

In our early years, our focus was expressed through the words:

❤️ Quality of Life
❤️ Dignity
❤️ Support

Later, our message became:

❤️ Offering Companionship and Support

Today, we say:

❤️ Making Moments Matter

The language has changed over the decades, and it will likely continue to evolve as our organization grows and responds to the needs of our communities.

But when we look closely, every version speaks to the same values: compassion, connection, dignity, support, and helping people feel less alone.

Now we'd like to ask you:

What does Hospice Northwest mean to you?

As we prepare to celebrate our 40th Anniversary Ruby Celebration in just 6 days, we're reminded that the meaning of Hospice Northwest has been shaped not only by our organization, but by the people whose lives have intersected with it over the past four decades. ❤️

♦️ ONE WEEK TO GO! ♦️

For the past 33 days, we've been sharing the people, programs, milestones, memories, and moments that have shaped Hospice Northwest's first 40 years.

From our humble beginnings around kitchen tables, to the volunteers, donors, staff, clients, families, and community supporters who helped us grow, every story we've shared has been part of a much larger journey.

Now, in just one week, we'll gather to celebrate those stories and the people behind them at our 40th Anniversary Ruby Celebration.

This evening is about more than looking back. It's about honouring those who built Hospice Northwest, celebrating the community that continues to support our work, and looking ahead to the next chapter.

❤️ If Hospice Northwest has touched your life in any way, we would love to celebrate with you.

♦️ One week. Forty years. Countless memories.

🎟️ Tickets are still available.

40 years. Thousands of memories. And so many stories still to tell. ❤️

Over the past 32 days, we've opened the Hospice Northwest archives and shared just a glimpse of the people, programs, events, and moments that have shaped our organization.

But for every photograph we've shared, there are so many more.

At our Ruby Celebration on October 15, we're bringing some of those memories together in a special History Walk, giving guests an opportunity to journey through four decades of Hospice Northwest.

You may recognize a familiar face. You may remember an event you attended. You may even discover a piece of our story you've never heard before.

♦️ You've been following our history. Now come experience it with us.
