Today marks one year since the passing of Dr. John Mulder — a devoted husband, loving father, and a truly remarkable physician whose life was defined by compassion, service, and unwavering dedication to others.
Dr. Mulder spent his career caring for patients and families at their most vulnerable, championing hospice and palliative care and helping bring dignity, comfort, and peace to countless lives. From delivering babies early in his career to becoming a nationally recognized leader in palliative medicine, his work was never just a profession — it was his calling.
He was a teacher, mentor, and advocate, shaping the future of care through his leadership, his work with the Trillium Institute, and his commitment to ensuring that every person facing serious illness was treated with compassion and respect.
But beyond his many accomplishments, Dr. Mulder will be remembered most for his kindness, his humility, and the way he made people feel seen, heard, and cared for. His legacy lives on in the countless patients, families, colleagues, and students whose lives he touched.
One year later, he is deeply missed and forever remembered.
