Bear Cottage is a children's hospice established by the Hospital as a new component of its palliative care program.A modern hospice provides physical, psychological, social and spiritual support to the terminally ill. Bear Cottage's philosophy stems from that tradition and this Hospital's long-standing tradition of outstanding service to all sick children and their families.

Bear Cottage provides:

  • palliative care and support for children with life limiting illnesses and their families
  • temporary respite care in earlier phases of illnesses to give families a much needed break
  • bereavement support for families. Bear Cottage is funded entirely by donations from the community
