About casey house

Casey House is unlike any other hospital. We are a specialty hospital providing ground-breaking holistic care for people living with and at risk of HIV. We offer a growing mix of inpatient, outpatient, and community-based services that meet clients where they are in their individual journeys to health and wellness. Our safe, welcoming, and judgement-free environment promotes a sense of belonging and community, where the humanity of each client is at the heart of everything we do.

To support us in this work, we are committed to building a team that reflects the diversity of the community in which we live and serve, including 2SLGBTQ+, Indigenous, Black, and other racialized communities, as well as those living with HIV. Every Casey House staff member, peer, and volunteer acts and delivers care to clients in accordance with our purpose, values, and philosophy of care. If you share our values, we would love to have you in our team!
