From our Hospice Quinte family to yours, warmest thoughts and best wishes for a Happy New Year. May peace, love, and prosperity follow you throughout 2021

Many Canadians are experiencing grief due to the loss of their loved ones, but for a lot of us, grief also stems from the loss of our normal pre-COVID lifestyle and the loss of human contact. https://www.newswire.ca//the-quality-end-of-life-care-coal
