We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Rushmere Noach Inc. for their dedicated and long-term support of St Francis Hospice. ❤️

Recently, we had the privilege of attending the handover of their Movember fundraiser, through which an incredible R38 850 was raised in aid of Hospice - an outstanding achievement!

Sustainable care is only possible through consistent partners who believe in what we do. Continued support, like theirs, helps us reach patients in their own homes, bring comfort in difficult moments and walk alongside families when they need it most.

Practical help is a big part of Hospice care. 🩵 Through our Home-Based Palliative Care programme, we loan out essential equipment like wheelchairs, walkers, commodes, shower chairs and eggbox mattresses to our patients at no cost. This service, together with medical, emotional and family support, helps patients stay comfortable and cared for in their own homes.

More info can also be found on our website at www.hospice-pe.co.za🌻

Palliative care is still widely misunderstood as something offered only at the end of life. In reality, it is an interdisciplinary, whole-person approach that begins at diagnosis and continues alongside active treatment.
Unlike multidisciplinary teams that work in parallel, interdisciplinary teams integrate their skills, share decisions, and build a single care plan that supports every aspect of a patient’s wellbeing.
Pain specialists, nurses, social workers, counsellors, and spiritual care providers work together to ease symptoms, strengthen resilience, and support families through the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual impact of cancer.
Across South Africa, hospices and palliative centres walk alongside thousands of patients and tens of thousands of family members each year, proving that palliative care is not only about dignity at the end of life, but about quality of life at every stage of illness.
As World Cancer Day reminds us, cancer care must be people-centred. Palliative professionals are the quiet specialists, ensuring that no one faces the journey unsupported.
