Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD)

Hospice Care Ottawa offers quality palliative care for patients and families and supports them along their end-of-life journey. While HCO does not consider MAiD as part of our philosophy of care, on May 26, 2020, the Board of Directors for Hospice Care Ottawa formally passed a policy allowing MAiD to be provided on site by outside healthcare providers (non HCO staff) within its premises. We will continue to accept patients who are considering MAiD or who are proceeding through the legal steps to obtain MAiD – in the same way it welcomes all palliative care patients. Patients will not be admitted for the sole purpose of receiving MAiD. Links for more information about MAID can be found on our resources page. CLICK HERE.


There is no charge to the individuals with life-limiting illnesses and their families we serve, therefore donations are welcomed and encouraged
