History
The History of St Anthonys
One hundred years ago North Cheam House stood in open countryside Purchased by the Daughters of the Cross for pound4625 it became St Anthonys Hospital Thus began a history of vital service to the community which with the more recent addition of St Raphaels Hospice continues to this day

By 1914 the Sisters had replaced the original house with an imposing building of three storeys and 163 foot frontage of polished brick

With the founding of the National Health Service in 1948 patients paying according to their means gave way to mainly NHSfinanced patients at St Anthonys The unexpected ending of St Anthonys NHS contract in the early 1970s coincided with the need to rebuild yet again This resulted in a highly innovative hospital designed to further the principles of patient centred care which the Sisters had always advocated With a speciality in cardiac surgery the third St Anthonys set ever new standards in patient care that spread its reputation far beyond the local area

The Sisters primary objective has always been to provide care to the local community and 1987 saw the establishment of St Raphaels Hospice A beautiful building standing in the grounds of St Anthonys its special care and services were to be provided totally free of charge to all those in need Extended by the Sisters in 1997 St Raphaels plays a vital part in the provision of palliative care to local patients and their families and also in the specialist training of nurses and doctors
