As the Executive Director of Jessica's House Hospice, I am truly honoured to be part of this incredible organization and to return to a community I once called home.
With a background in Nursing, and a Masters in Health Leadership, I have dedicated my career to providing compassionate, high-quality care that places residents and their loved ones at the center of every decision.
At Jessica’s House, I am committed to supporting our exceptional team; strengthening community partnerships; and, ensuring that every person who enters our home receives the comfort, respect and support they deserve. It is a privilege to help guide this organization as we continue to grow, serve and uphold the mission that makes Jessica’s House such a special place for our community.

My name is Grace Winbow and I am the Coordinator of Volunteers and Bereavement Services at Jessica's House Hospice. I have been working at JHH since April 2022 and am committed to providing compassionate grief support to those in our community. I recognized the value of hospice and bereavement support in our community as I watched the development of Jessica's House Hospice as a community member, then volunteer. As a result, I directed my studies to become a part of this important work; I graduated with a BA in Thanatology and Family Studies and have since obtained a Certification in Children's Grief and Bereavement. Every death, dying, grief, and loss experience is unique, I am here to provide a safe and compassionate space for people during their most challenging moments.

My heart has always been with Jessica's House Hospice. After years of volunteering, I was thrilled to join the staff in May 2023.
My background in Advertising from St. Lawrence College allows me to share our stories in a warm and inviting way. But my passion goes deeper. A desire to truly understand end-of-life care led me to pursue a Thanatology degree at Kings College/Western University and my Death Doula Certification through Douglas College.
Every family, visitor, staff member, and volunteer has a unique story filled with love and compassion. That's why I'm so honoured to be Jessica's House Hospice storyteller and fundraiser. Through these stories, we connect with our donors and showcase the incredible impact of their generosity. Together, we ensure Jessica's House Hospice continues to provide exceptional care for those facing life's final journey with warmth and dignity.
