Heartwood House: au coeur de la vie was founded by a group of ten dedicated volunteers, who developed the concept from vision through to implementation over a one year period, beginning in September 2000. In 2006 The Founders Group passed the ownership torch to our Member Organizations, who for the first time elected their own Board of Directors.

The Board is responsible for supporting the mission and monitoring the work of the Executive Director with respect to compliance with the organization's policy directives. Guided by these policies, the Executive Director is responsible for the day-to-day affairs of Heartwood House.
