The campus of care offers medical and support services that are specifically designed to make the life of residents more comfortable and enjoyable. SJLCB also includes a 10-bed residential hospice (Stedman Community Hospice) which provides whole person care with a multi-disciplinary team who journey with the patient and their family through their final days. Our Day Programs provide a caring environment where individuals living with a life limiting illness can interact with others experiencing similar challenges and gain support from a dedicated team of staff and volunteers. The palliative Community Outreach Team in partnership with community partners support individuals and families diagnosed with a life limiting disease, dealing with end of life issues or trying to cope with the loss of a loved one.

Guelph and Area was one of the first 12 Ontario Health Teams announced last year with over 33 direct and associate members. Brantford Brant Ontario Health Team was approved in November 2020. Both communities have a successful history along the integration continuum and continue to work broadly with both health and non-health sector partners to support transformation of our local health care system.
