Hospice Fredericton

What Hospice Fredericton does

Hospice Fredericton is a federally registered non-profit charitable organization operating in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, that provides end-of-life palliative care, bereavement support, and community-based hospice services. Its flagship facility, Hospice House, is a 10-bed residential hospice at 621 Churchill Row offering 24-hour nursing care in a home-like environment with private rooms and home-cooked meals, serving terminally ill patients with a life expectancy of three months or less admitted via physician referral. The organization also operates the Visiting Volunteers Program for community members living with terminal illness at home, a Grief Resources program offering bereavement support to families and community members, and ancillary programs including LEAP palliative care education and the Branches of Hope donor recognition initiative.

The organization's underlying operating model is community-led rather than technology-driven. Care is delivered by a specialized clinical team (Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Personal Support Workers, a Medical Director, and a Social Worker) backed by 100+ volunteers, with no proprietary technology platform, software product, or AI/ML capability disclosed. There is no app, API, or digital product offering; all services are delivered in person at the residential facility, in patients' homes, or at the community Grief & Wellness Centre housed in the J.T. Clark Family Adult Day Centre.

Hospice Fredericton generates operating revenue through a blended funding model: approximately 40% of its annual operating budget is provided by the New Brunswick Provincial Government, and the remaining ~60% is raised through individual donations, memorial gifts, bequests, recurring monthly donations, and community fundraising events including the annual Hike for Hospice and 52 Week Split lottery. The organization also operates the Hospice Boutique, a social enterprise upscale thrift store at 525 Dundonald Street that sells donated clothing, housewares, and collectables, with proceeds supporting Hospice House operations. All direct care services are provided free of charge to patients and families.
