    City of Hamilton set to get first children’s hospice

    Local

    Kemp Care Network, which operates Hamilton’s Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice, is seeking to build the city’s first children’s hospice.

    Hamilton has the Ronald McDonald House where families of sick or seriously ill children can stay while their family member is treated at McMaster Children’s Hospital.

    But the city of Hamilton does not have a children’s hospice where families and their terminally ill child can stay while living out their last days.
