In 1967, after going to medical school to become a physician and many years of study and work at St Joseph's Hospice, Cicely Saunders opened St Christopher's Hospice in the south of London, England as the first academic hospice. It was a place where patients could go for relief of 'total pain' with its physical, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions. Through the education and research mission of St Christopher's, Dame Cicely Saunders is credited with founding the modern hospice movement.
