HCF started in 1936 through Christian businessman, Francis Grim while visiting his elderly father in hospital. He saw that physical needs of patients were met, but spiritual needs largely ignored.
Burdened about this need, he began to teach a small group of nurses how to care spiritually for the sick.
From this grew a world-wide movement in more than 100 nations.
HCF Singapore was born in 1985.The work grew little by little through a group of committed Christians in healthcare.
