Based on our experience, here are 2 reasons why our clients choose Mount Alvernia Hospital:
1.Neurological and Sports Medicine expertise
Mount Alvernia houses two specialist centres, the Mount Alvernia Brain Centre and the Sports Medicine and Sports Surgery Centre.
The specialist neurological centre provides a comprehensive range of services for the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients with neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis. Services provided include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and scans and imaging facilities.
With a broader orthopaedic focus, its Sports Surgery Centre offers consultations,treatment and rehabilitation for the treatment of sports-related trauma affecting the musculoskeletal system. The dedicated team of orthopaedic specialists, nurses and physiotherapists are experienced in managing cartilage, ligament and meniscus tears and injuries and in conducting joint replacement surgeries. Other sports medicine services offered include injury prevention, exercise management and nutrition.
2. Affordable not-for-profit Catholic hospital with community outreach focus
Singapore’s only not-for-profit Catholic tertiary care hospital, Mount Alvernia is actively involved in local community outreach activities to reach out to the sick, poor and marginalised through education, nursing, pastoral care and counselling. Reaching out to more than 25,000 beneficiaries since 2009, its outreach programmes provide heavily subsisdised health screenings and flu vaccinations to the vulnerable and marginalised.
With all of its fiscal surplus channelled into supporting their community beneficiaries such as the Assisi Hospice, its healthcare services tend to be comparatively more affordable than its other private counterparts.
