Maison Victor-Gadbois

What Maison Victor-Gadbois does

Maison Victor-Gadbois (La Maison Victor-Gadbois) is a registered nonprofit palliative care organization (OBNL #119004372 RR 0001) founded on January 24, 1992, and headquartered at 1000 rue Chabot in Saint-Mathieu-de-Beloeil, Quebec. It operates a 12-bed inpatient hospice providing 24/7 end-of-life care to adults with incurable cancer in a homelike setting, alongside a day center serving five distinct weekly guest communities in the Montérégie region, an outpatient symptom management clinic, the La Pause Avec Victor children's support program for ages 6-12, and bereavement services delivered both in-person and via Zoom, FaceTime, Teams, and Skype. The organization also runs a training and research program, including the Mini-Guide 2026 distributed through the Palli-Science platform, and collaborates with the OIIQ for accredited continuing education.

The interdisciplinary team of 28 staff spans nurses, nursing assistants, massage therapists, acupuncturists, physiotherapists, music therapists, art companions, spiritual care workers, pet therapy workers, and social workers, supported by 4-5 daily volunteers. All core patient services are provided free of charge, removing financial barriers to palliative care access. Operating economics imply a daily cost above $15,000 and an annual per-room cost of $408,800, with an average patient stay of 22 days. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, but the cost structure implies annualized inflows in the $5M-$10M CAD range, funded primarily through community donations (over 50% of funding) plus training program fees and small-scale resource sales.

The go-to-market is community-led: patients are referred by physicians, oncology nurses, and CLSC nurses or self-refer by phone, while donor and volunteer acquisition runs through community events, newsletters, and signature fundraising activities. The organization operates a single physical site with no parent company or subsidiaries and is governed as an independent charity.
