FIRST DONATION FOR FUTURE HOSPICE RECEIVED IN HONOUR OF THE LATE STEPHANIE LANNI
We are grateful to the Lanni family for their inspirational donation which will have a lasting impact on future generations of Vaughan residents and their families in need of compassionate care and support as they deal with life-limiting illness and loss. As the first official donation to our “Better Ending” Capital Campaign, this represents a historic milestone for us.
