About Us
St Luke's Hospital
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 more than 7,200 patients and beneficiaries 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 since 2023, a global standard for quantifying and benchmarking employee experience.
