Caritas Award Recipient

Jocelyn House Inc.​

​

​

 

 

 

 

 

Jocelyn House Hospice opened as the first free-standing residential hospice in Western Canada on October 20, 1985. Bill and Miriam Hutton donated their family home to the community and founded the hospice in memory of their daughter Jocelyn, who died of cancer at the young age of 17.  A remarkable teenager, Jocelyn lived the last months of her life sharing her message of acceptance, purpose and faith. It is our mission as Jocelyn House Hospice to carry on the dream of Jocelyn Hutton: adding life to final days for the terminally ill, and their loved ones, by providing care and comfort in a home-like setting.

 

Jocelyn House Hospice is a comfortable, inviting home set on a beautiful naturally-wooded riverside property in Winnipeg's Old St. Vital neighbourhood. The picturesque and tranquil setting is a reflection of the safe, warm and welcoming atmosphere inside.   The sounds of conversation and laughter as well as the aroma of fresh baking and home cooked meals, fill the house daily.

 

Jocelyn House Hospice staff and volunteers truly understand and are deeply committed to exceptional end of life care.  They ensure that residents and their families receive the physical, emotional, social and spiritual support they need.  Jocelyn House Hospice is full of life; it is much more than a healthcare facility, it is a home.  Jocelyn House is not about dying, it is about LIVING at end of life – with dignity, comfort, understanding and peace.

Claudette Peters is a devoted nurse and an advocate for the dignity and sanctity of every human life. With years of hands-on experience in healthcare, Claudette has cultivated a deep understanding of the emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of patients and their families—especially during life’s most vulnerable moments. Her unwavering commitment to palliative care has made her a beacon of hope and comfort for those navigating the final stages of life.

 

Claudette believes that end-of-life care should be rooted in empathy, respect, and genuine human connection. She has worked diligently to ensure that patients receive not only medical attention but also emotional support that honors their personhood. Her advocacy extends beyond the bedside: she actively engages with community organizations, healthcare providers, and policymakers to promote compassionate care practices and raise awareness about the importance of dignity in dying.

 

Through workshops and one-on-one mentorship, Claudette empowers families to become confident caregivers, helping them find strength and grace in the face of loss. Her work has touched countless lives, offering solace during times of grief and fostering a culture of kindness and respect within the healthcare system.

 

Whether she’s comforting a patient, guiding a family, or championing systemic change, Claudette embodies the heart of nursing—compassion in action, advocacy with purpose, and a steadfast belief that every life deserves to be honored until its final breath.
