Our Causes

Health is more than treatment – it is dignity, connection, and the ability to live meaningfully. Through the SCH Health Fund, we support six key areas of community healthcare:

1. Financially Needy Patients

Even with subsidies, essentials items such as diapers, mobility aids, and medical supplies place significant strain on families. 

The Fund provides targeted, accountable assistance, allowing patients to focus on recovery rather than financial stress.

2. Social Prescribing

Recovery requires more than clinical care – it requires connection, purpose, and belonging.

Our social prescribing programmes link patients to meaningful community activities, from digital literacy sessions to tailored engagement initiatives, supporting long-term wellbeing, confidence, and independence.

3. Palliative Care

Every life deserves comfort and dignity. 

Our palliative teams provide pain management, emotional support, and guidance for families navigating serious illnesses.

The Fund strengthens programmes that ease both physical and emotional burdens, helping patients and families find comfort when it matters most.

4. Dementia Care

Dementia cases are rising rapidly. Care must extend beyond the hospital.

The Funds supports:

  • Cognitive therapy programmes
  • Caregiver support initiatives
  • Dementia-friendly environments
  • Innovative programmes such as Mindful Mart, where patients earn reward points through therapy to redeem daily essentials, fostering autonomy and engagement 

These initiatives enhance quality of life while reducing caregiver stress.

5. Psychosocial Wellbeing

Healing extends beyond physical recovery. 

The Fund supports therapeutic environments – peaceful gardens, quiet reflection spaces, and family-friendly areas – fostering emotional resilience alongside medical care.

6. Research, Innovation & Education

Sustainable community care requires continuous advancement. 

The Fund supports research, professional development, and innovation that improve care delivery, strengthen workforce capability, and advance patient outcomes – today and for future generations.
