SCH Bridges | SingHealth

SCH relies on the support of our community to provide care to our patients and their loved ones. Through Bridges, we aim to highlight the impact of the contributions from the community and the importance of their time and talents as volunteers.

We hope to inspire and inform you about the various way in which you can provide support towards our community hospitals and make a difference in the lives of those we care.

Keeping Social Connections Alive

Did you know being social is great for your health? Connecting with others boosts mood, lowers stress, and can even help you feel better faster, plus, it might help you live longer. So go ahead and make that catch up count!

Not Forgetting Those Who Forget

Caring for someone with dementia is about more than medicines and check ups—it’s about the person behind the diagnosis. Getting to know their story, their likes and dislikes, and how they express themselves helps care feel kinder, warmer, and more meaningful.

Thank You for Being A Part of iWalk 2024

Despite a passing shower right before the event started, participants did not have their spirits dampened and were eager to get started for iWalk 2024, SingHealth Community Hospitals' (SCH) annual fundraising event!

Return to Wellness

When 88-year-old Mdm Foo Siew Yin discharged from Sengkang Community Hospital (SKCH), she left with not just health advice and medications but took away an additional “social prescription” of rhythmic exercises at the Seniors Activity Centre near her home in Ang Mo Kio.
