Congratulations to our friend and partner Dr. Naheed Dosani, who is working with the team to create Journey Home Hospice, a new end of life care facility for Toronto’s homeless community.

Dr. Naheed Dosani, a palliative care physician at Inner City Health Associates, was awarded the Governor General of Canada’s Meritorious Service Cross (Civil Division) at a ceremony in Toronto on February 20. The prestigious national honour recognizes the 33-year-old physician’s commitment to providing care to those with life-limiting illness who face barriers to compassionate care because of homelessness, addiction, poverty or insecure housing.
