From innovators to instigators

The story of the Dr. Peter Centre is a story of firsts. From the day we opened our doors, we have always done things differently. We live and work on the edge of change, which is why innovation is an essential part of our DNA.

As our voice and reputation have grown stronger, so has our ability to inspire other organizations to reimagine the way they work and to improve their outcomes. We are no longer just innovators, but instigators.

We don’t shy away from having conversations about difficult topics. We push back the boundaries of what is possible by challenging assumptions, deflating stigmas, and erasing the boundaries that separate the people who need care from the places that can best provide it.

We may not have all the answers yet, but we are not afraid or daunted by the size and complexity of the questions, no matter how difficult they may be. We will not always succeed. And if we fail, we will fail well, with courage, dignity and integrity.

Some of the things we do are controversial. We will not always be on the popular side of public opinion. But we will always stand with and for our participants, because what is good for them is ultimately good for society at large.

People come here to feel safe.
