Hospital of Saint John and Saint Elizabeth - you are in good hands
Welcome to John & Lizzies
The mission of the Hospital of St John & St Elizabeth is to serve the sick and the dying and to care for the physical, spiritual and emotional needs of the total person, whatever their race, creed or colour.
A word of welcome from the Chairman of the Board
Thank you for visiting the web site of the Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth.
Founded in 1856, the Hospital is one of the countries largest independent charity Hospitals and the UK’s premier Catholic Hospital. We pride ourselves on the quality of our care, our range of services and the quality of our consultants and staff, who we believe to be the very best in their profession.
Although we provide acute private healthcare services, our charitable status is based on the fact that we utilise surplus funds to run St John's Hospice, located within the grounds of the Hospital. This inpatient, day care and community facility provides care, without charge, to people living within our wide catchment area.
Both the hospital and the hospice take great pride in their heritage, and especially in the Catholic ethos upon on which they were founded which assures patients of a commitment to care and compassion in the delivery of their healthcare.
The aim of both institutions is the same now as it was over 150 years ago — to provide the highest quality health care for all those who seek it.
General the Lord Guthrie of Graigiebank, GCB LVO OBE DL
Chairman of the Board
