Hospice History  In the early 1980’s a small group of South Auckland people encouraged by Father Francis Fennell, a retired Anglican Priest, began the South Auckland Hospice service.
After a great deal of publicity, hard work and fundraising the South Auckland Hospice Charitable Trust was formed in 1982. Since this time the service has grown and now forms an integral part of the health system in South Auckland. The service encompasses a wide area incluing the whole of Manukau City, Otahuhu and Papakura and is now known as Hospice South Auckland.
