EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Are you an exceptional leader looking for a meaningful way to make a difference in our community? Hospice Care Ottawa (HCO) is a unique community-based charitable organization that stands out for its compassionate palliative and end-of-life programs and services. Formed by two founding organizations – The Hospice at May Court and Friends of Hospice Ottawa, and now spanning across three locations in Ottawa, HCO ensures that every individual, regardless of their background, receives the highest level of dignity, comfort, and support. Hospice palliative care is a key element in the health system in Ontario. Serving well over 1000 people and their families each year, HCO is committed to providing all services free of charge, a testament to our dedication to the Ottawa community. We promote quality in life, compassion in death, and support in bereavement to people in need.

As a leader, the ED cultivates an appreciation of our volunteers and staff and engages with local healthcare providers and business partners.
