The District Charity
South-Central Ontario is home to thousands of children living with progressive life-limiting illnesses. Currently, there is no dedicated pediatric hospice in the region. Keaton’s House – Paul Paletta Children’s Hospice will provide the care, comfort, and connection these families deserve, close to home.
Keaton’s House will be a place where children with life-limiting illnesses and their families can find peace, comfort, and connection in their most difficult days.
This is the first pediatric hospice of its kind in South-Central Ontario, where more than 1,000 children each year face serious illness without a dedicated space for respite, end-of-life, and grief & bereavement care.
