A Little History
Caring Hearts was established as a non-profit charity in 1983 under the name Regina Palliative Care Inc. (RPCI) At this time, funds were raised to help support the Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region's Palliative Care Unit/Greystone Bereavement Centre as well as the ten-bed facility at Regina Wascana Grace Hospice.
In 2018, we changed our name from the Regina Palliative Care Greystone Bereavement Centre to Caring Hearts allowing Caring Hearts as a step towards expanding support across the province. Our new name was in honor of our amazing Caring Hearts Grief Camp for Children and Youth and to this day, we continue to provide grief and loss support, education and a place of comfort in difficult times.
