St Luke's Hospital - SLH

St Luke's Hospital - SLH St Luke's Hospital cares for the whole person 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.

At our Dementia Awareness Day today, we took time to walk in the shoes of persons living with dementia — to better understand their challenges and to always see the person beyond the diagnosis.

We were honoured to hear from Alison, founder of Dementia & Co., who shared her journey and the importance of creating safe, supportive spaces for the Dementia Community. She was later joined by her daughter Jamie and care partner Shiang Lin in a heartfelt panel discussion on how community hospitals like SLH can strengthen dementia care.

Staff also explored interactive booths by our care teams — from dementia simulations and reminiscence activities, to learning how simple acts of care can restore dignity, foster connection and spark joy.

“Caring for persons with dementia is about knowing the person behind the disease and helping them maintain dignity through respect and love,” shared A/Prof Tan Boon Yeow, CEO of St Luke’s Hospital, in his opening address.

Even with dementia, life can still be full of meaning — and together, we can build a more empathetic and inclusive community. 💜

We did it again — SLH is a Great Place to Work® for the 3rd year running!

This recognition is more than a certification — it’s a powerful affirmation of the culture we’ve built together, one rooted in trust, unity, employee well-being and shared purpose.

As we look ahead, we remain committed to journeying alongside our staff, ensuring every colleague feels valued, cared for, and empowered to thrive. By investing in our people, supporting mental wellness, and nurturing both character and competencies, we enable our teams to serve our patients and community with excellence and compassion.

Stay tuned to our upcoming posts, where our colleagues share what makes SLH a truly great place to work.

We were delighted to welcome our partners from Adam Road Presbyterian Church (ARPC) to St Luke’s Hospital (SLH), following our earlier visit to their Tengah premises.

The visit included a hospital tour and meaningful discussions on future areas of collaboration in community engagement. Opportunities explored include volunteer involvement through befriending and leisure activities, and the possibility of piloting patient devotions led by ARPC@Tengah.

We look forward to deepening this partnership as we journey together to serve and support the Bukit Batok and Tengah communities in the years ahead.

Another milestone unlocked! Congratulations to Dr Chua on completing the Manhattan 20 Bridges Swim, the second leg of the Triple Crown challenge. 🌉

Circling Manhattan Island, he swam 48.5km through swirling tidal currents, navigating under 20 bridges and past the iconic New York skyline. With two swims down and one to go – the legendary English Channel – we’re rooting for him as he pushes towards the finish line.

Every stroke Dr Chua takes is in solidarity with St Luke’s Hospital patients, with the goal of raising $1.5 million in funds to give back to patients facing their own journeys with courage and resilience.

To donate and follow his journey, head to give.asia/tcswim. 💙

Congratulations to Dr Chua on conquering the first leg of the Triple Crown Swim — the Catalina Channel! 👏🏻

Starting on 4 Sep, he braved 32.5km of cold, dark waters and unpredictable currents. After 11 hours of swimming through the night, he successfully touched shore today, completing this grueling challenge with grit and determination.

This marks the first milestone in his mission to raise $1.5 million to bring hope and healing to St Luke’s Hospital patients.

Next up: the Manhattan 20 Bridges Swim, followed by the English Channel. We’ll be cheering him on every stroke of the way!

Support the cause and follow his journey at give.asia/tcswim. 💗

Putting ‘community’ back into healthcare 💙

At St Luke’s Hospital, care extends beyond hospital walls. Through our strong partnerships with health and community care organisations, these collaborations bring healthcare closer to home and the community — supporting seniors to age well with dignity.

Our ecosystem of care aligns with the nation’s vision for precincts with higher concentrations of seniors — empowering them to age well in place.

Thank you, The Straits Times, for featuring our journey in bringing care closer to those we serve.

Through the Heart Project, volunteers from Hillview Community Club walk alongside our patients with love, warmth and joy — uplifting them on their road to recovery and reminding them that they are never alone. 💖

Some of these volunteers were once patients themselves or had loved ones cared for at SLH. Touched by the care and compassion they received, they now choose to pay it forward with love and service.

We are proud of Senior Clinical Educator Dr Su Anqi, who was invited as Keynote Speaker at the School of Health Sciences Teaching Forum organised by Ngee Ann Polytechnic!

In line with the forum’s theme “Reimagine Learning: Flipped, Blended, and Beyond”, Dr Anqi shared insights from her study on the experiences of blended learning among community hospital nurses.

Despite initial challenges, most participants found blended learning enriching — gaining knowledge, confidence and the flexibility to learn anytime, anywhere. She also encouraged participants to find joy in learning, embracing the journey rather than just the outcomes.

Thank you Ngee Ann Polytechnic for the kind invitation — we look forward to more collaborations to inspire growth and transform the way we teach and learn!

“Thank you for treating our mother and grandmother with dignity and respect, and for ensuring her final journey was as peaceful as possible.” – Selvi, on behalf of the family of the late Mdm Kamalam 💚

Mdm Kamalam, a devoted mother who worked tirelessly for her loved ones, first came to SLH in 2022 and 2024, where our team supported her recovery from two strokes and helped her regain independence.

In 2025, after a third silent stroke and seizure left her needing oxygen support, she was cared for in our palliative ward — where she spent her final days surrounded by compassion, comfort, and dignity.

🌊 To support patients like Mdm Kamalam, LTC (Dr) Chua Jia Long of the Singapore Navy is taking on the 115km Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming to raise $1.5M for SLH. Your support will help us care for more than 7,200 patients each year across dementia, rehabilitation, wound, and palliative care.

? 400,000 people in Singapore live with diabetes – yet 1 in 3 don't know they have it.

Chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol often develop silently, without obvious symptoms, until complications occur. That's why regular health screening is so important. 👍

By detecting health risks early, you can take steps to make lifestyle changes and seek treatment where needed, reducing healthcare costs and improving your quality of life.

At St Luke’s Community Clinic, we provide Healthier SG screenings, as well as personalised health action plans and long-term care and support from our multidisciplinary team of family physicians and healthcare professionals.

👟 The Shoe Hanger Project — by Senior Nurse Manager Josephine Tan, Senior Staff Nurse Ayin Castillo, and Ward 2D, improving safety and ergonomics by ensuring easy access to patients’ footwear, reducing falls.

🪥 Oral Care for Palliative Patients — by Nurse Manager Jean Cabreros, Staff Nurse Jaquelyn Cheong, and Ward 4B, implementing guidelines and checklists for consistent oral care.

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.
