St Luke’s Combined Hospices
About this project
St Luke’s Combined Hospices is a leading palliative care hospice. Palliative Care, often called end-of-life care, begins at the point of diagnosis of a terminal illness.
Founded in 1980, St Luke’s Combined Hospices transcends conventional in-patient care to offer decentralised palliative care services in significantly marginalised communities within the greater precinct of Cape Town, South Africa. This outreach was achieved in the establishment of day-hospices. Patients are tended to at six day-hospices which are community-based hubs for medical, psychosocial, and spiritual intervention. These day hospices have an overarching aim of providing care and support for terminally ill patients within their own culture and home environment.
St Luke’s Combined Hospices cares for, on average, 700 patients daily.
Our work with St Luke’s Combined Hospices included all stationery and external signage rebranding, redesigning and development of the website, managing their social media platforms and the design print of their annual report.
“Edge are a dynamic team of digital media gurus who are humble, engaging and understanding of NGO needs and the NGO world. They were able to bring to life concepts we had in our heads of what our social platforms should look and feel like. A definite team to engage with to shape your digital footprints.”
