Our Team
CanHOPE consists of an experienced, knowledgeable and caring support team. The CanHOPE team journeys with patients to provide support and personalised care, working with medical and allied health professionals, to help patients and caregivers make effective and informed decisions in the treatment.
Guest Relations Team
Every patient that comes through our doors is met, greeted and guided by our guest relations team. Like an aide, they are a gentle and assuring presence that many of our patients have come to befriend and rely on. Professionally, they attend to our patients during treatment transitions and help ensure that their cancer care is well coordinated in Singapore and regionally through our network of CanHOPE offices. In caring for our overseas patients, our guest relations team also serve as a translator and cultural bridge. Hailing from Vietnam, Indonesia and Singapore, they are effectively bilingual, with some conversant in as many as three languages.
Counsellors
Our trained counsellors offer a listening ear and give absolute privacy so that our patients share their concerns freely to help them better cope with their condition.
Dietitians
Our dietitians educate our patients and caregivers on nutrition principles, food selection, preparation methods, as well as recommend dietary plans and diet modifications.
Palliative Care Nurses
Our palliative care nurses offer a strong support system to care for the psychosocial and spiritual needs of our patients and their families. To safeguard the quality of life of our patients, our palliative care team works with the medical team to achieve optimal pain relief and control.

Wall of Hope
IN MEMORY OF she touched our lives with her kindness, and no nonsence personality, she will be and is already greatly missed. Karri Hammond IN MEMORY OF Papa, although you’ve passed on 7 years you are still fondly remembered. You’ve taught me many things eg being brave to drive on the road when I got my driving licence and keeping the family together especially during your last stage of life. The many weekends and days that we spent visiting you at the hospice and nursing home helped to bring our family closer. Appreciating family relationships and a good bonding time for all of us. May you be well and happy. 🌷 Papa Chua CT IN MEMORY OF Testing Archie Andrews IN HONOUR OF You fought hard my dear. You did well! Nicole I’M A SURVIVOR Diagnosed breast cancer in 2010, mastectomy was done, undergone chemotherapy, radiotherapy and also oral. Lucky to have so many friends and family members around me, who gave me so much hope and encouragement. Also attended the CanHOPE support group, where we shared experiences during the sharing session. I also assist to set up Line Dancing sessions for cancer patients since 2011 till now. Stay happy and positive. Patricia Tham Lai Kuan IN MEMORY OF Those we have lost IN HONOUR OF All Survivors. Continue the fight! IN HONOUR OF Jamilah A. I’M A SURVIVOR Cancer very disruptive!! Turned my life upside down. From a focused and down-to-earthperson, I became someone lacking in confident, confused and full of emotions. I hated theword “Strong”. “Be strong”, “Stay strong”, “You are strong”, “Thought you are strong”, blah,blah…. Never an easy journey!!But when you trust, submit and be a true slave to the only ONE, things will get easier. Seekhelp. Make authentic decision for yourself and no one else. Never give up HOPE!! Rose
