Today we’ve been celebrating International Women’s Day by introducing you to some incredible Irish women and their inspirational legacies of work with the Irish Hospice Foundation.

Today, we salute our founder Dr Mary Redmond and her pioneering work across the charity sector in Ireland. We also remember cherished psychologist Therése Brady and her unwavering efforts for bereavement care for all.

Their innovative visions for a better Ireland and their unrelenting quest for progress continue to inspire us today at the IHF, especially as the #pressforprogress forges on.

Here on Nassau Street, we are delighted to say women continue to lead the way across Healthcare, Bereavement & Education, Advocacy & Public Engagement, Fundraising, Communications and Public Affairs. Our Nurses for Night Care are delivering vital care to patients, in their homes, at the end of life. 

Indeed, across our entire organisation, women are striving for the best care at end of life and bereavement care, for all in Ireland. Thank you for all the great work you are doing!

Wherever you are today, we hope you will join us and celebrate the contributions of women, whatever shape or form they take.
