Michelle Frauley has spent more than 35 years watching people fall through the cracks between the hospital and home. In 2014, in King City, Ontario, she built HosPall to close them.
Her career has spanned family medicine, palliative care, women’s health, long-term care, the operating room, and community nursing. Everywhere she has worked, the story was the same: people leave the hospital, arrive home, and land in a fragmented patchwork of care with no one holding it together.
HosPall is her answer. A nurse builds the plan, supervises the caregivers, and stays accountable as the family’s situation changes. Trust, dignity, and clinical rigour, the values that shaped her bedside practice, are still the foundation of how we work today.
