Thanks for visiting our personal fundraising page. The Marymount Hospice Cork charity is a very worthy cause and we would very much appreciate your support in helping us to raise funds for this charity. In Memory of our Mum we will be walking from Old Marymount in St Lukes to the New Building in Curraheen on Sunday December 4th at 3 o clock. The walk will take 1.5 hours through Cork City and we would love you to join us. If you cant walk then to thank you for your donation we would like to invite you to Marymount in Curraheen at 5.15 to join us for some refreshments.

We will also have a Bus in New Marymount which will bring you back to your car in Old Marymount, kindly sponsored by Derry Cronin Coaches

Also bottled water supplied by Celtic Pute Water and Liam McGinn

Sweets by Butlers and if you get too tired on the walk we will organise to get you a lift by car

About my charity

Marymount Hospice Cork

Marymount Hospice  Marymount Hospice is a Specialist Palliative Care Unit.  Based at St. Patrick’s Hospital, the hospice provides skilled medical, nursing and spiritual care for patients with serious and advanced illness and their families.  The hospice is staffed by a specialist team. In addition to a 24-bed in-patient unit, the hospice also offers care and support to those patients who choose to be cared for in their own homes. Working in close liaison with community based medical and nursing services, hospice based nurses will visit patients in their own home.  This service is designed to complement the skills and the resources of the patient’s own family doctor and other community based healthcare professionals.


Other services available at Marymount include a Hospice Day Unit and Outpatients Assessment Unit. The overall objectives of palliative care services is to ensure that patients are free from pain and other distressing symptoms, thus enabling them to live full, active and rewarding lives.


Marymount Hospice is very grateful for the ongoing support which it receives from the HSE voluntary groups and organisations and also to the people of Cork city and county who have supported the work of the hospice over the past 125 years.


The Sisters of Charity have cared for the people of Cork since 1870 and that tradition of dedicated and compassionate personal care is still very much in evidence today Hospice care is the total care of the patient and family at that stage of serious illness when the focus has shifted from treatment aimed at cure to ensuring quality of life. It seeks to relieve the physical symptoms of the illness while equally addressing the person’s emotional, social and spiritual needs. It seeks to treat the person rather than the illness and it is all about living life to the end.


 


Friends of St  Patrick’s Hospital/Marymount Hospice.


 


Affilliated to the Irish Hospice Foundation, the Friends of St. Patrick’s Hospital/Marymount Hospice are a voluntary group who raise funds to enhance the hospital and to benefit the patients.  They meet on the second Monday of each month.  Their major fundraising events are “Sunflower Days” and “Irelands Biggest Coffee Morning”.  They are currently fundraising to build a new hospice.
