How Lighthouses support St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth
Lighthouses are navigators for those who are weathering stormy seas. The first lighthouse built on the treacherous Eddystone Rock, was a pioneering project, just as St Luke’s has been a trailblazer for hospice care in Plymouth, Southwest Devon and East Cornwall. We put our patients first, delivering care in their homes and at our specialist unit at Turnchapel and shine the spotlight on encouraging conversations around death, dying and bereavement.
