The Casey House Hospice,located in down town Toronto, Ontario, Canada, was founded in 1988 and provides a continuum of free care for persons infected by HIV/AIDS through a comprehensive range of palliative and supportive care services through its residential hospice and community programs. Through partnerships with other organizations it delivers care in the home, clinics and a mobile health bus. Casey House is affiliated with St Michael's Hospital. The Basic operating expenses for the Casey House's Residential Program are funded by an annual grant from the Ontario government.[www.caseyhouse.ca]
"Casey House is one of the world's first hospices for people with HIV/AIDS. Volunteers inspired by their experience providing palliative care to a friend with cancer rallied in the mid 80's with Toronto activist/writer June Callwood to build a place of care and compassion to meet the needs of people affected by HIV/AIDS. Today, Casey House is a world-renowned facility that provides care in a 13 bed residential program, and sees over 100 clients in the community."[www.caseyhouse.ca]
