Princess Michael of Kent is the Hospice's royal President
It is 30 years since the local health authority approved the building of a hospice on the site of the old Peace Memorial Hospital in Watford. What became Peace Hospice Care was born.
Work began and the following year a temporary building was located on the site to provide a Day Care Centre.
Following an extensive fundraising campaign, this was later transferred to the hospital building and was officially opened in 1996 by the Hospice's royal President, Princess Michael of Kent.
Despite the pandemic, the Hospice is determined to celebrate what it has achieved over the last 30 years and look forward to the next 30 years, raise the profile of hospice care and help many more people with life-limiting illnesses both understand and have access to the free services illness.
