Our History
The very first Hospice Community Nurse started work in 1983.
Since then we have grown to become a leader in specialist palliative care providing high-quality, person-centred, holistic palliative care to 4,000 patients every year.
Adult & Children Hospice
Our Adult Hospice at Somerton House opened in 1985 and in 2001 we opened Northern Ireland’s only Children’s Hospice at Horizon House in Newtownabbey.
