We know that the calling to care doesn’t end when the workday does. Our healthcare staff carry their skills, compassion, and commitment with them everywhere. Ready to step in whenever someone is in need.

On 9 August, that dedication was put to the test when five Patient Care Associates (PCAs) from Parkway East Hospital and Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, on their way home from Singapore to Johor Bahru, came together to save a stranger’s life.

When they saw a man collapse outside Johor Bahru customs, they didn’t hesitate. Drawing on their CPR training, they took turns performing chest compressions, calling for help, gathering vital information, and refusing to give up until his pulse returned. For 30 minutes, they worked side by side to revive him until an ambulance arrived.

In a joint statement of appreciation, the CEOs of both hospitals, Ivan Khor of Parkway East Hospital and Sherrie Lim of Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, said: "We are incredibly proud of our five Patient Care Associates for their quick thinking and skill that saved a life while on their way home from work. Their actions exemplify the values we uphold at Parkway East Hospital and Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital. They demonstrated how compassion and commitment to care is not based on a uniform we wear, but a selfless calling we live by, on or off duty."

👏 Join us in celebrating Shareen Kaur Ranjit Singh, Veenoshini Sandrasagaran, Subhashini Subramaniam, Nanthiine GudialKumaran, and Hemadewi Balakrishnan.

Milestone unlocked at Mount Elizabeth Hospital!🎉

As part of Project Renaissance (Project R), all our 18 wards at the Mount Elizabeth Hospital (MEH) are finally open! This marks a major step in expanding our capacity and capabilities to meet Singapore’s evolving healthcare needs.

In late July, we unveiled the final five wards and they have been fully operational since 4 August 2025! This journey has transformed how we deliver care — with more HDU rooms, negative and positive pressure rooms, upgraded maternity and paediatric facilities, new radionuclide therapy rooms, and enhanced layouts for better patient flow. Completion of the wards just ahead of Nurses’ Day was also a fitting tribute to our nurses, who have now settled in nicely and ready to provide the best care possible. 💙

Alongside the opening of the wards, we unveiled our “Cradle to Memories" exhibition that showcases ten familiar items one may find in the hospital and these have been turned into lasting mementos, preserving their legacy in a new form. Designed and curated in partnership with the NUS College of Design and Engineering’s Division of Industrial Design, each item serves as a lasting memory and tells a touching story from our doctors and staff. Drop by to have a look at the exhibition! It's held at the Grand Lobby of the Hospital and is open to public till the end of September.

We are finally reaching the last stages of Project R and we can’t wait for the official reopening to take place! A big thanks to our dedicated teams, doctors, and partners who have made Project R possible. Together, we Care. For Good.

In our last post for the COG 2025 series, we are delighted that our primary care arm, Parkway Shenton has also been recognised as a Company of Good.

Primary care is the foundation of every healthcare system and Team Parkway Shenton plays the essential role of providing the first level of care for those nestled in the community. Their role has since evolved from just treating common ailments to one that takes on a holistic approach to health and well-being, including preventive care, management of chronic conditions, ensuring coordinated treatment and health education.

We are beyond proud that Team Parkway Shenton has imbued our purpose, mission and values into their day-to-day operations.

💼 People first, always!

From implementing the Progressive Wage Model to achieving Bizsafe Level 3 certification and offering Flexible Work Arrangements, the Parkway Shenton team ensures that our people thrive in a safe, supportive, and forward-thinking workplace. The team also benefits from comprehensive medical and mental health support, career development pathways, and regular engagement through events like CEO townhalls, Parkway Shenton Night, and Nurses’ Night.

💙 Giving back to society

- Volunteered with Willing Hearts and participated in Kayak & Clean.
- Partnered with Yellow Ribbon and the Visual Arts Hub of Singapore Prison Service to promote inmate art and second chances.
- Delivered public health talks, health carnivals, and radio interviews to promote health awareness widely.
- Encouraged staff involvement in events like the Yellow Ribbon Run and IHH Singapore Sea Regatta.

These efforts reflect our belief that trusted healthcare goes beyond medical expertise. It means building systems, workplaces, and communities grounded in purpose, integrity, and impact.

What does being a Company of Good mean to Parkway East Hospital (PEH)? It means living its mission to deliver care anchored in people, purpose, and continuous improvement.

💙 Community at the core

Team PEH's longstanding partnership with St. Andrew’s Autism Centre (SAAC) reflects its commitment to inclusion. From a cycling fundraiser event to festive care pack distributions, internship opportunities, and medical support at SAAC events, among others — these initiatives are designed to empower and uplift. The hospital also collaborates with Yellow Ribbon Industries, a social enterprise that provides work opportunities to ex-offenders as part of their reintegration journey, by engaging them for laundry services.

PEH staff actively participate in initiatives like Willing Hearts, a volunteer-run charity that prepares and distributes thousands of meals daily to those in need across Singapore, and the Purple Parade, an annual movement supporting and celebrating persons with disabilities.

🌱 Driving environmental responsibility

The hospital's sustainability journey is grounded in everyday actions:

- Food waste is recycled to reduce landfill impact.
- Implemented energy-saving upgrades like LED lighting and more efficient chillers.
- Actively reducing single-use plastics, and exploring new ways to recycle medical-related waste such as IV bags and single-use containers.

We believe that by doing the right thing, with heart and purpose, we create a healthcare experience that transforms lives, both within and beyond our hospitals.

Congratulations Team PEH for being a part of IHH SG’s Champion of Good journey, and we even more excited about what lies ahead.

🏥 Gleneagles Hospital Singapore - a Company of Good 💓💓💓!

In this feature from our series, we highlight how Gleneagles Hospital, Singapore (GEH) integrates purpose into its strategy, culture, and everyday care - guided by our Vision, Mission, and Values.

Our GEH leadership team plays a critical role in steering strategy and empowering our people, creating a workplace centred on clinical excellence, operational resilience, and compassionate service.

To elevate patient care and experience, Team GEH invested in robotics with the aim of improving patient outcomes. They were also the first IHH SG hospital to introduce Cerebral Plus Electronic Medical Records System that helps improves clinical efficiency and operational effectiveness.

At the same time, Team GEH made efforts to strengthen the governance framework by enhancing data protection and sustainability disclosures, while also anchoring leadership development in empathy, coaching, and a culture of continuous improvement.

As part of IHH Healthcare Singapore’s journey to the Company of Good recognition, Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital (MNH) is proud to champion our purpose of 'Touching Lives, Transforming Care' — not just within hospital walls, but in the community and environment around us.

🤝 Engaging Communities
We partnered with Singapore Cheshire Home, a non-profit organisation that provides residential and day care for adults with severe physical disabilities, to co-create meaningful activities through the year. From quarterly walks to the nearby market to social bonding sessions, these moments brought joy and dignity to residents while giving our staff the chance to give back in a truly personal way.

🌱 Sustainability in Action
We engaged external stakeholders to embed sustainability into everyday operations:

- Conducted quarterly clinic waste audits, and clinics were encouraged to adopt our Filmless radiology initiative by accessing patient images digitally instead of printing hardcopies.
- Partnering with ISS Facility Services, we transformed coffee grounds, dry leaves, and vegetable scraps into compost thereby reducing reliance on commercial fertilisers.
- Revamped packaging with Gryphon Tea Company which switched to recycled cotton paper for tea bag packaging, replacing plastic alternatives.
- F&B retailers on our premises encouraged a Bring Your Own (BYO) culture, offering discounts to staff and visitors who brought reusable containers.
- Implemented a comprehensive procurement evaluation matrix that prioritises vendors aligned with sustainability and global good, including B Corps and companies supporting the UN Global Compact.

These efforts reflect our belief that hospitals can and should be powerful drivers of social and environmental good.

Thank you to NVPC for recognising this journey, and to our partners for walking it with us! Kudos to Team MNH for a job well done!
