Hospice Georgian Triangle provides compassionate care at Campbell House and in the community for individuals with life-limiting illness and their families in the Town of the Blue Mountains, Collingwood, Clearview Township and Wasaga Beach. Care programs come at no cost to the user and focus on the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of the patient, family and caregivers, enhancing quality of life.
Hospice Georgian Triangle Foundation’s purpose is to raise the funds that allow Hospice Georgian Triangle to provide exceptional hospice palliative care and community programming. This is the Foundation’s second largest fundraising event of the year with a goal of raising $150,000.
