Palliative care starts at the time of diagnosis and is an additional layer of care provided by trained and skilled professionals. Stepping Stone Hospice & Care Services started operating on the 1st of January 2013. We understand how difficult it is to see your loved one in pain. We understand how important it is for your loved one to die with dignity. We know how hard it is to come to terms with the loss. We speak from a position of personal experience. We want you to know that you are never alone. We are here for you...

Last day of the 8th International African Palliative Care Conference. It is truly a privilege to be here. It is daunting when we look at the effect of the loss of US funding and the projected increase in cancer diagnosis and deaths.

We are absolutely overwhelmed with joy and gratitude to announce that Stepping Stone Hospice & Care Services has been honoured with the 2025 Global Recognition Award! This award isn't just ours - it belongs to every single person who has walked this journey with us.

From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank our incredible team - the nurses, caregivers, volunteers, and support staff who pour their hearts into every patient interaction; our precious families who have trusted us with their most vulnerable moments. Weโ€™d also like to thank our amazing community and corporate partners, every volunteer, and donor - you are the heartbeat of everything we do.

Weโ€™re now recognized among Africaโ€™s elite end-of-life care facilities, and weโ€™re the ONLY hospice in Gauteng to hold five-star Association of Palliative Care Centres (APCC) and Council for Health Services Accreditation of Southern Africa (CoHSASA) accreditation simultaneously! ๐ŸŒŸ

But numbers canโ€™t capture what truly matters: the 4,000+ patients weโ€™ve cared for, the 40,000+ family members weโ€™ve supported, and the young people from our community weโ€™ve trained as qualified caregivers - turning unemployment into purpose, and purpose into hope.

"Stepping Stone Hospice & Care Services represents the very best of humanitarian healthcare innovation, combining clinical excellence with deep community engagement to create a model that other organizations worldwide can emulate", noted Alex Sterling, spokesperson for Global Recognition Awards.

To everyone reading this - whether youโ€™ve been with us since 2013 or youโ€™re just learning about our work - THANK YOU for being part of this incredible story.
