Opened in 1992, St John’s Hospice was built and equipped from funds raised by Doncaster Cancer Detection Trust. The ongoing responsibility and costs are met by Doncaster Primary Care Trust.

The hospice has ten in–patient beds and a lively day care facility. It is surrounded by landscaped gardens and the aim is to create a home–like, relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Our Hospice offers comfort, peace of mind and spiritual well-being for people with a life threatening illness.

We provide holistic palliative care, which encompasses the specialist relief of physical, emotional, social and spiritual problems whilst respecting the individuality of life.

We recognise that dying is a normal part of living. We support patients, families and carers to live each day to the full.
