To maximise the quality of life of those living with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses, to provide high quality specialist palliative care, including support for those who are in the terminal phase of their illness, and to support the families and carers of patients and to continue such support into bereavement.

Isabel Hospice was founded in 1982 by a number of dedicated people inspired by Isabel Last who herself had cancer. It was registered as a charity in 1983 and works throughout the eastern Herts area covered by Broxbourne Borough Council, East Herts District Council and Welwyn Hatfield Council.
The philosophy of the Hospice has always been to affirm the uniqueness of the individual and to focus on the highest possible quality of life for each patient in our care. Isabel Hospice works closely with the Local Health Authority, NHS Trusts, Primary Health Care Teams and District Councils.
