There are over 40,000 new cases of cancer diagnosed in Ireland each year. St. James’s Hospital is the largest cancer centre in the country with over 4,000 new cases each year.

St James’s Day – Healing Garden Appeal
Earlier this year, we held our first ever St James’s Day annual fundraiser. The day was a success and we would like to thank everyone who donated so far. We still need your help to get to our fundraising target of €100,000 to create a much-needed healing garden for our patients, visitors and staff here at St James’s Hospital. We want to create a special space, an oasis of tranquillity, to help relieve the anxiety and stress often experienced by those with serious illness and to create a welcoming place of calm for our visitors and staff.

Patient Story – Tony Doyle
“I feel like I have recovered 90% from Covid19. My lungs have still not fully recovered yet. I wasn’t expecting to be so weak afterwards. But I have to say that I wouldn’t be where I am today without the staff from St James’s hospital. Grateful patient Tony Doyle spent over a month in St James’s Hospital after developing symptoms of Covid19 in early March.
Tony has kindly shared his story with us…
