At St Elizabeth Hospice it is our privilege to stand beside our patients as they come to terms with their diagnosis and as we develop the individual support plan they will need. Through medicine and therapy we restore hope, we ease pain, we give life purpose and we make life liveable at time when the prospect of a normal life can seem a distant prospect. Below are four patient stories that illustrate different ways we can help and demonstrate that together we will not let the prospect of death kill life for those living in Suffolk.
