The Heart Of Hospice
Support the nurses who help make every moment matter.
Here at Cranford, our specialist nurses are the heart of everything we do. They walk alongside our patients and their whānau through some of life’s most difficult moments—offering expert care, heartfelt compassion, dignity, and an unwavering presence.
To continue delivering this kind of specialist palliative care, our nurses need more than just dedication, it takes ongoing training, education, and the support of people like you.
Help us care for the carers. Donate today.
“My placement at Cranford showed me that this kind of care changes lives, not just for patients, but for the nurses too. I knew I had to come back.”
—Louise Price, Registered Nurse

“If we don’t invest in our nurses, we don’t have a service. And every patient deserves a nurse who’s confident, capable, and supported.”
—Gretchen Gordon, Nurse Practitioner
Gretchen’s journey from Clinical Nurse Specialist to Nurse Practitioner was made possible through postgraduate study, mentorship, and the unwavering support of Cranford Hospice and her colleagues. Today, she not only delivers advanced care but also teaches and mentors nurses across Cranford Hospice, aged care, and rural settings, all helping to lift the capability of our entire region’s nursing workforce.
