With deepest gratitude, we honour two extraordinary hearts - Prof Pang Weng Sun and Sister Geraldine Tan. At our 30th Anniversary Gala Dinner, we presented the Singapore Palliative Care Lifetime Achievement Award to two remarkable pioneers who have shaped the soul of palliative care in Singapore. 🌟Prof Pang, a key architect of Singapore's palliative care journey — a visionary, clinician, educator, and policy leader.  From establishing Singapore’s first hospital-based palliative care service to shaping national policies and mentoring generations, his quiet leadership has touched countless lives. "Though he has received nearly every major clinical and national award, this moment is special. It is the community he helped to build that now celebrates him." 🌟 Sister Geraldine, the beating heart of community palliative care.  For nearly 40 years, she’s been a beacon of light at St Joseph’s Home. With fearless faith and boundless joy, she’s comforted the dying, uplifted families, and taught us all what it means to serve with soul. "She is the embodiment of servant leadership — funny, fearless, and full of faith. She remains an icon in palliative care and a beloved figure across generations of patients, families, caregivers, and fellow professionals." We honour them not just for what they’ve done, but for who they are: trailblazers, mentors and beloved human beings who have made this world kinder. Thank you for lighting the way with your compassion and grace. ❤️ #PalliativeCare #HospiceCare #SingaporeHospiceCouncil #SHC30Gala #LegacyofCompassion #30YearsofCaringTogether

Last night, we gathered to celebrate a momentous milestone — 30 years of the Singapore Hospice Council. Graced by Guest-of-Honour Mdm Halimah Yacob, Chancellor of the Singapore University of Social Sciences and former President of Singapore, the dinner paid tribute to the pioneers, professionals, and volunteers who have built and sustained Singapore’s palliative care movement. It is a movement that began humbly and now shapes the way we care for the dying. Thanks to your generosity, we raised an incredible $912,731 through donations, a live auction, and the shared spirit of giving. Every contribution will go toward improving palliative care services and ensuring that no one journeys alone at the end of life. The night was filled with unforgettable moments: 📘 The launch of The Gift of Presence, a heartfelt book capturing the stories and souls of our palliative care professionals. 🏅 The inaugural Singapore Palliative Care Lifetime Achievement Award, honouring Prof Pang Wen Sun and Sister Geraldine Tan who paved the way with compassion. 🎶 Beautiful performances by Dr Chee Chen Sin and Dr Chong Poh Heng, whose music and words touched our hearts deeply. 💫 And of course, your presence which made this celebration so meaningful. To our guests, donors, volunteers, partners, and friends — thank you for journeying with us. Here’s to 30 Years of Caring Together, and the many more ahead. You can still be part of our journey.

As we mark our 30th anniversary, we are deeply saddened by the loss of someone very dear to our hearts. On 18 May, we bid farewell to Dr Anne Merriman, a pioneering figure in the founding of palliative and hospice care in Singapore. A trained geriatrician, Dr Merriman volunteered her services at St Joseph’s Home, Singapore’s first hospice. Her remarkable resourcefulness enabled the early pioneers of palliative care in Singapore to provide good care to patients and gain invaluable practical knowledge along the way. She was a mentor and source of inspiration to many of today’s leaders in the field. Her incredible heart to caring for the terminally ill, and her unwavering determination to offer the best possible care despite limited resources, continue to inspire the palliative care community. Her legacy goes beyond love, care, and compassion — she ignited a movement that transformed the sector. Thank you, Dr Anne Merriman. May we carry your spirit in all that we do. 💓 #inmemoryof
