Marymount University Hospital & Hospice (“Marymount”) provides specialist palliative care services and services to care for dependent older people. Its origins date back to 1870, with its foundation by the Religious Sisters of Charity in Cork. The original hospital was built on the north side of Cork City, but the service relocated in 2011 to purpose-built, modern, high-quality facilities in Curraheen, Cork. Marymount is an independent voluntary hospital with university status and is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee. It is a section 39 organisation under the Health Act 2004 and works closely with the statutory health services to provide care services. Ireland Charity Registration (CRA) No: 20000509
