An exempt charity, Mount Alvernia is a not-for-profit, private Catholic hospital founded on Christian values. Our annual surplus goes into developing and upgrading the hospital, supporting our outreach service, the Assisi Hospice, and many community outreach activities.
A charitable organization affiliated to the National Council of Social Services, the Assisi Hospice is our commitment to provide holistic care for those with life-threatening illnesses in an atmosphere of warmth and compassion. The hospice provides three kinds of services- inpatient care, home care and day care.
Besides caring for patients, Mount Alvernia Hospital also strives to play a part in building a healthy community through various community activities. Over the years, we have conducted Community Health Screenings at Community Centres, Singapore Buddhist Lodge and Buddha Light International Association. Today, we continue to reach out to the community through the People’s Association Wellness Programme, an initiative to encourage a healthy lifestyle amongst senior citizens.
In Singapore, we are the only private hospital that provides clinical pastoral care as part of our care for the whole person. Our Clinical Pastoral Care team provides emotional and spiritual support to patients and their relatives who may be in need of support in coping with illness, or in coming to terms with incapacitation.
As a mission founded Catholic hospital, Mount Alvernia is part of the FMDM global network spanning Singapore, Australia, England, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, Nigeria, Zambia and Zimbabwe, reaching out to the sick, poor and marginalized through education, nursing, pastoral care, counselling, prison and parish ministry.
