Casey House provides inpatient and outpatient services and is located in the downtown area, at the corner of Jarvis and Isabella streets.

[3] Work on establishing the hospice first began in October 1986, when June Callwood and other volunteers helped register and incorporate Casey House as a charity.

The first client, who was in isolation for months and was delivered to the hospice by medics wearing masks and gowns, was received by Casey House with an embrace.

[4] The opening of Casey House marked the first hospice in the world to provide support and palliative care for people with HIV/AIDS, at a time when little was yet known about the disease and the ignorance and fear surrounding it were intense.

[11] In October 2010, with the medical advances of HIV and AIDS, the need arises to care for patients with HIV/AIDS focusing on treating their illness, and not just providing comfort for their last days.

A $10 million capital campaign was launched to supplement the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care's commitment to fund the construction of an expanded facility.

Their underlying focus of reducing patient's isolation and improving their overall health with inclusivity and unequivocal compassion remains much a part of the program as it did from the beginning of Casey House.
