Kemp Care Network is more than just an organization; it is a compassionate community dedicated to serving the emotional, physical and social needs of individuals living with a serious illness, facing their last chapter, or grieving a death.
We are a world-class leader in regional palliative care with strong founding values and ever-evolving to best serve our community.
Driven by the belief that no one should face the end-of-life without the necessary support, Dr. Bob Kemp, a dedicated family physician, established the Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice (now the Kemp Care Network) in 1994. He envisioned a place of hope, bringing together a compassionate team of volunteers and staff dedicated to providing care. In 2007, the Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice took a significant step forward with the establishment of a 10-bed residential hospice at 277 Stone Church Road East.
Nearly thirty years ago, Dr. Bob Kemp recognized an opportunity to redefine how palliative care was offered in the Greater Hamilton Area. Foremost, a founding value was to serve all, especially the most vulnerable. And, it all started with a generous donation of land by Iris Berryman.
In 2023, we refreshed our identity as the Kemp Care Network to reflect our expanding impact and reach. Our dedication to compassionate care remains unwavering, and our updated brand empowers us to move forward with renewed enthusiasm and commitment.
To care for every individual and their loved ones with dignity, compassion and attention to their physical, social and psychological well-being during times of serious, life-limiting illness and loss.
We lead, collaborate and drive meaningful improvements to palliative care services with partners across our community.
