What Stowarzyszenie Hospicjum Domowe does

Stowarzyszenie Hospicjum Domowe, operating as Hospicjum Domowe im. Cicely Saunders (named after Cicely Saunders, founder of the modern hospice movement), is a Warsaw-based Polish civil association (KRS 0000026420, OPP status since 2004) founded in 1993 that delivers home-based palliative and hospice care to terminally ill patients, the majority of whom have oncological diseases. The organization's clinical model is a multidisciplinary team of 14 physicians (5 palliative medicine specialists, 5 internal medicine, 4 clinical oncology), 14 nurses (9 palliative care-qualified), 3 psychologists, 3 physiotherapists, and a master's-level social worker providing 7-day-a-week coverage, complemented by a free medical equipment lending program (hospital beds, wheelchairs, oxygen concentrators, anti-decubitus mattresses) and an outpatient palliative medicine clinic at ul. Marokańska 4s. Geographic scope is right-bank Warsaw (Mokotów, Praga Południe, Rembertów, Śródmieście, Wawer, Wesoła) and surrounding municipalities (Halinów, Józefów, Okuniew, Sulejówek, Wiązowna). In 2024 the association served 667 persons including 40 family members, with over 30,000 cumulative beneficiaries since 1988/1993.

The revenue model is predominantly public-payor and donation-based, not commercial. NFZ (Mazowiecki branch) contracts contribute approximately 5.41M PLN (87% of FY2024 revenue of 6,183,979 PLN), the City of Warsaw public task grant contributes 240,000 PLN (under the three-year 720,000 PLN "Śpieszmy się kochać" 2023-2025 program), the 1.5% personal income tax donation mechanism contributed 348,885.50 PLN, and individual donations contributed 158,487.93 PLN; membership fees and DOZ Foundation grants contribute smaller amounts. All patient services are provided free of charge, with patient access via physician referral, NFZ qualification, or self-referral — a community-led go-to-market supported by a volunteer network of 23 (8 patient-support, 15 organizational), celebrity-driven fundraising events ("Gotuj się do pomocy!"), Facebook and website presence, and an annual memorial mass program. In May 2025 the association moved into an owned headquarters at ul. Botaniczna 21, concluding a six-year property purchase campaign.
