Opened in 1984, St Michael’s Hospice is Herefordshire’s only local provider of compassionate, expert palliative care. We are dedicated to helping individuals and their families live and die well, in comfort, and with respect.
Why it matters
Everyone deserves to be treated with comfort, compassion, and respect when they’re being cared for. Our care makes a real difference, ensuring patients experience symptom relief and are treated as a person, not just a diagnosis, while families receive the emotional and practical support they need during and after their loved one’s journey.
Our approach to care
At the heart of our work is the ‘St Michael’s Way’, a distinctive care approach grounded in knowledge, integrity, and respect. We empower patients and families to make informed decisions, ensuring personalised, compassionate, and high-quality care at every step.
What we do
We deliver expert palliative care to adults with life-limiting conditions, whether at our hospice, at home, or in the wider community. We support families before, during, and after bereavement, helping them navigate the challenges of caregiving, loss, and grief.
Our unique role
St Michael’s Hospice is more than just a healthcare provider; we are a trusted local lifeline. Deeply rooted in Herefordshire, we understand and respond to the specific needs of our community, offering not only expert palliative care but also vital emotional support throughout the journey.
