St Luke's Hospital - SLH

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.

The dementia care ward was filled with warmth as we celebrated patient Irenne’s 87th birthday.

When Irenne shared her wish for a strawberry cake, Dr Alicia didn’t hesitate. Although she couldn’t find one, she made a quick dash to bring back a strawberry Swiss roll instead — a thoughtful alternative that made Irenne’s day extra special.

Surrounded by laughter from fellow patients and those caring for her — from her nurses to the dietitian and medical social worker — the celebration became a simple yet joyful moment, much to the delight of her grateful daughter and family.

Because sometimes, it’s the small, thoughtful gestures that mean the most. 💙

What started as a simple itch on her legs turned into one of the toughest battles for Mdm Johanah.

After months of pain and infection, she was diagnosed with bilateral lower limb venous ulcers and received specialised care at St Luke’s Hospital (SLH).

Through dedicated wound care and her strong will, Mdm Johanah’s condition improved remarkably.

“Her strong will and positive attitude made a big difference in her healing journey. It was inspiring to see how consistent care and patience led to visible improvement in her wounds,” said Mdm Johanah’s nurse, Duruga Devi.

She continued her recovery at St Luke’s Community Clinic (SLCC), where her wounds healed steadily with consistent follow-up and support.

After three strokes, Mr Lai was left bedbound and dependent on tube feeding. Despite facing medical and financial challenges, his wife devoted herself to caring for him at home.

Our team at SLH journeyed with them — providing home medical and nursing care, financial aid and emotional support every step of the way. Today, Mr Lai can once again enjoy solid food and even attend church in his wheelchair — milestones that have brought renewed hope and joy to their lives.

As the year draws to a close, we gathered for our bi-annual Palliative Memorial Service — a quiet and meaningful space for remembrance and reflection. Families, caregivers, and staff came together to honour loved ones who have passed, finding comfort in shared memories and one another’s presence.

In a deeply moving sharing, family members paid tribute to their loved ones’ legacies and expressed gratitude for the compassion and support of the SLH care team — a reminder that palliative care continues beyond life’s final chapter, walking alongside families through grief and healing.

The service was enriched by a meaningful song performance by the palliative care team, as well as words of encouragement and prayers from the Chaplaincy team. As one quote beautifully captures: “Those we love never truly leave us; they live on in the love and memories we carry forward.”

Thank you to all who made this a meaningful and dignified time of remembrance.

A meaningful Christmas celebration in Bukit Batok! 🥳

Jointly organised with Bukit Batok Presbyterian Church (BBPC), St Luke's ElderCare (SLEC) and West Mall SG, the event brought the community together through carolling, lively performances, and a variety of booths – from fun games and activities to beautiful handmade crafts.

It was heartening to connect with residents young and old at our booth, where they learnt more about our work and how they can support our cause. A special shoutout to our dedicated volunteers for lovingly handcrafting paper quilling bookmarks and ornaments in support of our fundraising efforts.

We are grateful for the opportunity to deepen our partnerships and come together to bless the community this festive season.

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.
