Join the Hospice Georgian Triangle Board and contribute to the mission: “Excellent palliative care for all.”
I chose to be a PSW as I have always been interested in palliative care. In the 1980’s I spent time with friends who were at Casey House hospice in Toronto. Casey House was dedicated to men who had AIDS and whose families rejected them because they were opposed to their lifestyle.
Doreen is a longtime volunteer whose contributions and advocacy for hospice is apparent to all.
My Father and uncle were both polio survivors and both had long lasting effects. From a young age I always wanted to be nurse.
I had cancer as a young child and spent much of my youth going to check ups and spending time in hospital. My nurses were amazing and I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything but nursing.
I wanted to pursue nursing to help others during their most vulnerable times.
Trish joined Hospice Georgian Triangle in July 2019 as Interim Executive Director. She has an extensive background with 20 years experience in palliative care and more than 25 years in healthcare in the Collingwood area.
