Call Directions Website

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.

Music brings joy! 🎶

It was a pleasure to welcome our friends from the Singapore Symphony Orchestra (SSO) back for another heartwarming afternoon of music with our patients and staff.

The talented trio treated everyone to a delightful mix of classical favourites, including Blues No. 1 and Waltz of the Flowers from The Nutcracker, alongside nostalgic Mandarin, Malay and Tamil tunes such as The Moon Represents My Heart, Getaran Jiwa and Aagaya Gangai.

The music brought smiles all around, with some patients even taking the microphone to sing along! One of our patients, Mr Choong, shared, “I feel lucky and very happy to have attended this performance, as I love music. I loved to sing a lot in my younger days and still enjoy listening to music on the radio. My favourite piece was Saint-Saëns' The Swan, where we were asked to close our eyes and imagine our own images to the music. It was soothing and helped me feel more at ease.”

Music truly brings people together, spark cherished memories and uplift spirits. We look forward to strengthening our partnership with SSO and sharing the gift of music with the communities we serve.

Healthy minds, healthy communities 🧠

We were pleased to be part of the recent Glow & Grow Fiesta, organised by Bukit Batok, Our Home (武吉巴督，我们的家园) at West Mall! The event brought together residents for a time of learning, wellness, and fun, with a focus on women’s and children’s health.

At our booth, residents learnt more about the importance of cognitive health and had the opportunity to try the Digital Brain Function Screen, offered in partnership with Neurowyzr. Through interactive, gamified puzzles and questionnaires, participants had the opportunity to assess their cognitive function and receive personalised consultations on their brain health.

It was a meaningful opportunity to connect with the community and raise awareness of the importance of preventive care and cognitive wellbeing. Thank you, Bukit Batok Constituency, for having us!

Diverse Expertise, Shared Purpose 💙

We recently came together to honour our Allied Health colleagues with a fun-filled retro-themed celebration! With good food, lively games, and plenty of laughter, it was a wonderful occasion to recognise the dedicated individuals who contribute to the holistic care of our patients — from therapists, dietitians and pharmacists to medical social workers, care coordinators and support care staff.

This World Allied Health Day, we celebrate the diverse expertise and compassionate care they bring to patients and their loved ones. From helping patients regain mobility and confidence to supporting their nutritional needs, communication, and emotional well-being, they make a meaningful difference at every step of the care journey.

To all our Allied Health team, thank you for your dedication and commitment for those we serve! 🫶

How can we prevent falls before they happen? 💪

That was the focus of the recent Healthy Longevity Forum, where we had the opportunity to share practical insights on fall prevention.

Organised by Shamrock Social Outreach and brought to you by People's Association and Impact Hong Lim Green, the forum “Unbroken – Preventing Your First Major Fall and Injury”, explored how to anticipate fall risks, make our homes safer, and build strength and confidence as we age.

St Luke's Hospital CEO and Senior Consultant, Prof Tan Boon Yeow, shared a simple three-system approach to understanding why falls happen and how this guides our approach to fall prevention and injury management.

He was joined by Isabella Liang, Head of Rehabilitation, who shared ways to reduce hazards at home, and Senior Exercise Physiologist Raymond Teo, who demonstrated simple exercises to improve strength and balance.

Beyond the forum, our team also connected with attendees at our booth to share more about our services and how we support older persons in the community.

We are grateful for this opportunity to work alongside our partners - Neurowyzr, Opsis, Singapore University of Social Sciences, and SG Assist - bringing practical knowledge closer to the community and help older persons stay safe and active as they age.

Food can offer more than nourishment at the end of life. 🍜

The focus may shift from dietary goals to pleasure, comfort and connection.

Offering favourite foods, familiar family recipes and shared mealtimes can bring comfort and a sense of normalcy, while creating meaningful moments with loved ones.

This World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, we recognise that quality palliative care takes a holistic approach to pain management, while also supporting comfort, dignity and quality of life.

This tip was shared by Principal Dietitian Serene Tay as part of an educational session with Singapore Hospice Council on Finding Comfort Through Food in Palliative Care.

As we mark St Luke’s Hospital’s (SLH) 30th anniversary, we are taking time not only to celebrate how far we have come, but also to remember why we began.

Our story started with a need that could no longer be overlooked. As Singapore’s population aged and the need for medical, nursing, and rehabilitative support for older persons became increasingly evident, a group of Christian healthcare professionals saw an opportunity to put their faith into action.

That shared conviction eventually brought together eight churches and Christian organisations — Graduates' Christian Fellowship - GCF Singapore, Singapore Nurses' Christian Fellowship (SNCF), Bartley Christian Church, Bethesda Frankel Estate Church, Bethesda Katong Church, Church of Singapore, Presbyterian Community Social Services, and Wesley Methodist Church (Singapore) — to establish SLH. Their perseverance, collective support, and shared calling laid the foundations for the Hospital we know today.

Over the past year, we welcomed representatives from our Foundation Members back to SLH to reconnect with that founding purpose, share our plans to build the Community Hospital of the Future, and explore how we can continue working together to meet the evolving needs of our community.

As we look ahead, we remain anchored in the same spirit of service that first brought SLH into being, while continuing to evolve for the future. We are grateful to our Foundation Members for walking this journey with us as we build on our shared legacy and shape tomorrow, together.
