Dr. Peter Centre
The Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation is a non-profit organization that raises funds to support innovative health care at the Dr. Peter Centre. Located at Mole Hill, the Dr. Peter Centre is British Columbia’s only HIV day health program and 24-hour nursing care residence, a leader in HIV care, particularly for individuals with multiple medical conditions and social barriers. Founded in 1992 by Dr Peter Jepson-Young, the first facility opened at St Paul’s Hospital in 1997. The Dr Peter AIDS Foundation became an important partner in the campaign to save Mole Hill and the concept of a standalone facility was incorporated into the remediation plans for Mole Hill. The current centre opened in 2003.

Ron Bayne and Peter Quinn met after heart transplant surgery in 2001. They quickly learned that for many transplant recipients, finding an affordable place to stay during the few months of post-surgical recovery was a significant challenge—and a source of financial stress. The Heart Transplant Home Society was formed to address that challenge, so other heart transplant recipients can focus on what matters most: their health. HTHS is a non-profit organization run entirely by volunteers. 97% of every dollar raised goes towards directly supporting heart patients and their caregivers.
Hearthouse
The Society offers affordable accommodation to heart transplant patients and their loved ones near St. Paul’s Hospital. Since 2004 that has included a suite at Mole Hill. They have housed over 190 transplant recipients to date.
