St Luke's Hospital - SLH

A charity healthcare provider enriching lives in the communities since 1996 through clinical, social, and pastoral care.

St Luke’s Hospital, named after the patron saint of the medical profession, was the first hospital in Singapore dedicated to the care of older persons.

Today, we are a community care provider supporting needs through our care ecosystem, spanning inpatient, outpatient, home care and community-based programmes, and specialised areas of care in rehabilitation, dementia, wound and palliative care.
An Institution of a Public Character, we care for 2,500 inpatients and 5,000 outpatients each year, regardless of race, language or religion. Through our Clinical, Social, Pastoral (CSP) care model, we transform lives holistically beyond physical health.

Impactful and innovative in transforming community care, we were the first recipient of the President’s Award for Social Impact (2012), and the first community hospital to receive the National Healthcare Innovation and Productivity Medal (National University Hospital – St Luke’s Hospital Integrated Care Path, 2016).

We partnered the National University Health System (NUHS) to pioneer the Patient Appointment Consolidation (PAC) programme, which won the overall Excellence Champion Medal in the National Healthcare Innovation and Productivity Medals in 2017. In 2022, we were also awarded with the National Healthcare Innovation and Productivity Medal for the Community Response Team (CRT) project, and a joint-hospital Improving Mobility Via Exoskeletons (IMOVE) programme.

Through our concerted efforts to build a thriving workplace, we received the Great Place To Work® certification in 2023, a global standard for quantifying and benchmarking employee experience.

Getting medications right is vital to recovery — especially for those with multiple health conditions.

We’re proud to be part of the National Harmonised Integrated Pharmacy System (NHIPS), a national platform by Synapxe for Singapore’s public healthcare sector. This unified system strengthens medication safety and improves coordination across care settings — supporting smoother transitions from hospital to home.

What this means for patients and caregivers:

✅ Clear medication information
✅ Seamless medication collection
✅ Quick access to medical information via QR code
✅ Enhanced visibility of prescriptions across institutions

Through stronger integration and smarter workflows, we’re making healthcare safer, simpler, and closer to home.

When Mr Kong was referred to St Luke’s Hospital, it soon became clear he needed more than medical treatment.

By taking time to understand his unique needs and thoughtfully coordinating community services, our team walked alongside him and his elderly caregivers every step of the way.

Today, his wound has healed. More importantly, his family no longer has to face this journey alone. Because compassionate care builds a bridge from hospital to the community — restoring hope, safety and stability. 💛

Bringing warmth and comfort with every meal 💕

This Lunar New Year, our patients enjoyed a festive dinner prepared with care, bringing warmth and joy to our wards.

Overseen by our Food Committee, the specially curated menu featured nourishing favourites, like Double Boiled Chicken Soup with Cordyceps, prepared with care for the occasion. To ensure patients with different dietary needs could enjoy the meal, the dishes were adapted across various diet textures — from regular to pureed.

Through efforts like these, we hope to bring connection and a little festive cheer to every patient’s journey with us. ✨

Love steamboat but not the post-feast food coma? 🥢

Steamboat and hotpot are festive favourites, but they can also be high in sodium and fat — and easy to overeat without realising it.

The good news? With small, mindful decisions, you can enjoy the celebration while keeping your meal balanced and nourishing.

We were honoured to host Mr Lim Siong Guan, Emeritus Professor at the National University of Singapore and Distinguished Practitioner Fellow at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, for a special lunchtime dialogue with our staff. Drawing from decades of public service and leadership experience, he shared life lessons on honour, leadership, resilience and service that remain highly relevant in today’s volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world.

His reflections resonated deeply with our work in healthcare and community care, reminding us that integrity, purpose and resilience are essential as we care for vulnerable patients and families through recovery, uncertainty and end-of-life journeys.

The dialogue continued with an engaging Q&A session, followed by a book signing where staff were able to interact with Mr Lim and continue the conversation, bringing home his insights for further reflection.

As St Luke’s Hospital marks our 30th Anniversary themed “Honouring Legacy, Shaping Tomorrow”, the session felt especially meaningful — prompting us to reflect on the strong foundations laid by those before us while renewing our commitment to serve with compassion and excellence as we shape the future of community care.

Our heartfelt thanks to Mr Lim for generously sharing his time and wisdom with us, inspiring our teams as we journey forward in transforming community care together.

Our Story

St Luke's Hospital, named after the patron saint of the medical profession, was the first hospital in Singapore dedicated to the elderly sick.

We have expanded our services beyond the elderly to enrich more lives. An Institution of a Public Character, we care for 2,000 inpatients and 3,000 outpatients each year, regardless of race, language or religion. As illnesses may be long and chronic, we care holistically for patients' physical, emotional and psychosocial well-being.

Impactful and innovative in transforming community care, we were the first recipient of the President's Award for Social Impact (2012), and the first community hospital to receive the National Healthcare Innovation and Productivity Medal (National University Hospital - St Luke's Hospital Integrated Care Path, 2016). We topped the Community Hospital Patient Experience Survey in 2018.
