DEAN Foundation:

We cater to that vulnerable, marginalised section of society that cannot speak or defend for itself – mainly the destitute, the homeless and afflicted women and children; those living below the poverty line will receive priority of admission and free treatment.

We care for those suffering from terminal, irreversible advanced, incurable – both malignant and non-malignant diseases like Cancer, AIDS, etc. in the city and surrounding districts of Chennai, Kanchipuram Block and Karamadai Block, Coimbatore, in the State of Tamil Nadu, India, with no access to Palliative Care.

Our Vision:

To create a robust environment that facilitates, nurtures and assists those with core competencies, in the provision of Hospice and Palliative Care services; to address unique challenges and opportunities; and to develop and sustain outstanding research and academic activity, political engagement and service delivery.

Our Mission:
To care for the elderly and those who are suffering from irreversible diseases like Cancer, AIDS, End-stage Diabetes, Neurological, Kidney diseases, etc. irrespective of age, sex, religion or economic background
To relieve “Total Pain” by anticipating, preventing and treating suffering
