Hospic svatého Lazara

What Hospic svatého Lazara does

Hospic svatého Lazara, z.s. is a Czech nonprofit organization founded in 1998 that operates hospice and palliative care services in the Plzeň Region. It is registered as a z.s. (registered association) under Czech law with its headquarters at Sladkovského 2472/66a, Plzeň, and is noted as the only inpatient hospice in the Plzeň Region. The organization's service portfolio is built around four clinical offerings: inpatient hospice care (lůžková hospicová péče) for terminally ill patients requiring 24-hour medical and psychosocial support; home hospice care (domácí hospicová péče) delivered in both Plzeň and Klatovy for patients wishing to remain at home; a supportive and palliative outpatient clinic (podpůrná a paliativní ambulance) focused on symptom management for serious illness; and a medical equipment lending service (půjčovna pomůcek) that supports home-based care. Customer segments include terminally ill patients, their families and caregivers, and outpatients with complex symptom management needs — primarily personas rather than enterprise accounts.

The organization's underlying technology stack is commodity: its customer-facing website (hsl.cz) runs on WordPress with the Elementor page builder, the charitable e-shop is built on WooCommerce, and supporting tools include Wordfence security, Google Analytics, Hotjar, Wistia, and Google reCAPTCHA. There is no proprietary technology, app product, or AI capability, and admission requests are submitted via an online web form rather than a mobile application.

The business model is a nonprofit hybrid. Core clinical services are reimbursed through the Czech public health insurance system (covered for patients without direct co-pay), while the organization supplements this with a diversified charitable fundraising stack: individual donations collected via the Darujme.cz platform at standardized tiers (300, 500, 1,000, 5,000 CZK) on one-time, monthly, or annual cadences; an 8-edition annual beneficial art auction (benefiční aukce) featuring Czech artists, which has cumulatively raised 3 million CZK across 435 artworks; and sales from a charitable e-shop. Employee headcount is in the 11-50 range. Additional operational and corporate sponsors include Plzeňský servis, Aimtec, and NROS, with operational partners Česká pošta (postal), Zásilkovna (parcel delivery), and ČSOB (banking). The organization is GDPR-compliant and is currently fundraising for a new hospice building.
