At Brantford General Hospital’s (BGH) Critical Care Unit (CCU), care extends far beyond medicine. Through the Three Wishes Program, BCHS helps humanize the experience of dying for patients facing unrecoverable illness — offering comfort, dignity, and connection when it matters most.

Led by Dr. Brenda Reeve, an Intensivist at BGH’s CCU, the program is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: when cure is no longer possible, compassion still is. Three Wishes supports patients and families by honouring meaningful, personal wishes during end-of-life care.
