ST FRANCIS HOSPICE CELEBRATES 40 YEARS OF PROVIDING COMPASSIONATE CARE IN OUR COMMUNITIES.

Celebrating 40 Years of Compassionate Care: Happy Birthday, St Francis Hospice!🙌
Today marks a significant milestone in the journey of St Francis Hospice—a journey that began 40 years ago when Founder Matron, Sr Lesley Lawson, and Sr Anna Carey, seconded from the Little Company of Mary, answered the call at Malvern House in Taybank. 💒
Their vision was to provide holistic palliative care to those grappling with life-limiting illnesses, predominantly cancer, and to support families through some of their darkest moments.
From these humble beginnings, St Francis Hospice has grown to encompass a satellite operation in Humansdorp, extending compassionate support to surrounding communities like Jeffreys Bay and St Francis Bay, including the surrounding farmlands.🙏
This milestone is a testament to the dedication of countless individuals whose time, skills, and commitment have shaped St Francis Hospice into a beacon of hope and dignity in the community. Each person involved has played a vital role in this remarkable story, contributing to the culture of care and support that we uphold.💫
Over the past four decades, we have faced significant challenges, primarily financial, yet we have experienced profound moments of divine intervention that have helped us navigate these obstacles. The tireless efforts of our clinical team—Doctors, Nursing Sisters, and Social Workers—have been the heart of our organization. Their unwavering dedication to those living with Cancer, AIDS, and Motor Neuron Disease is nothing short of extraordinary.👩‍⚕️
As we celebrate 40 years of making a difference, we look forward to the next chapter of our story. Together, we will continue to bring comfort, dignity, and support to patients and their families.
Happy 40th birthday, St Francis Hospice! We salute you and all those who have walked this journey with us. Here’s to many more years of compassionate care!🎉
