Images and documents relating to the founding of St Francis Hospice and the relationship between Mary Redmond, the Irish Hospice Foundation and St Francis Hospice
Description
An early priority of Mary Redmond and the Irish Hospice Foundation was the need for a second hospice in Dublin. In 1987 Mary Redmond began fundraising for the establishment of this second hospice. The Irish Hospice Foundation along with the Daughters of Charity began a home care service for North Dublin from a portacabin on the grounds of the Capuchin Friary in Raheny.
The Capuchin Friars donated the site of their monastery garden and St. Francis Hospice Raheny was built on this site.
In 1993 the purpose built offices for the community Palliative Care team opened and Hospice Day Care services began. In 1995, St. Anne's Inpatient Unit was opened comprising 19 beds.
