Stratford will be getting a hospice.
Eugene Dufour and the Rotary Club of Stratford are bound and determined to make it happen.
Dufour addressed the Rotary luncheon yesterday at the Kiwanis Centre.
He’s a therapist with the STAR Family Health Team.
Dufour gave an update on their progress to bring a residential palliative care hospice to the city and he’s optimistic.

He says they’ve seen interest in this approach to the terminally ill rise over the last decade.

As the population ages, Dufour says we’ll need to have this discussion more and more.
