How to Access Our Programs

Anyone can refer to, or request support from, Hospice Orillia either by utilizing the buttons below or by calling (705) 325-0505.

Referrals can be made by the individual with a progressive life-limiting illness or those who have experienced the loss of a loved one, their family members/friends/caregivers, or anyone on their care team (ex. nurses, doctors). Please note that those referring on behalf of another individual will be required to provide some basic information to complete the referral, and must do so with consent from the individual.
