St Michael's Hospice is one of the sponsors of the Hereford Times Health and Social Care Awards 2018. More details here.

THE incredible support St Michael’s receives from the community means your local hospice is now providing more care to more people for longer periods of time.

St Michael’s mission is to ensure that end-of-life care is available to everyone who needs it, including patients, family and friends.

We want to enable people to do the things they want to do and make their life easier and more comfortable. 

All care at St Michael’s is provided free of charge, and people can be referred by any health or social care professional involved in their care.

We care for cancer and non-cancer patients, and because everyone’s illness is unique, we offer a range of different treatments.

Our regular outpatient clinics and support groups can give people the confidence and advice to help them live well with their illness.

For example, people with fatigue and breathlessness can benefit from courses offering practical advice. Our occupational and physiotherapists can help alleviate or control a range of symptoms, and with personalised exercise programmes and home adaptations, they can make a real improvement to independent living.

Our person-centred approach means we also provide psychological and emotional support through our counselling service and social care team.

Visiting the hospice offers people a chance to socialise, make new friends and take part in activities that range from arts and craft sessions to informative talks.
