Father Eugeniusz Dutkiewicz SAC Hospice (formerly: Pallottinum Hospice) in Gdańsk is a charitable organisation founded by the Pallottine priest E. Dutkiewicz in 1983, which provides palliative care for the terminally ill. ==History== Father E. Dutkiewicz SAC Hospice (formerly: Pallottinum Hospice) was established in Gdańsk in 1983 on the initiative of the Catholic Church, local medical staff and groups of volunteers. The founding movement was led by the Pallottine priest Eugeniusz Dutkiewicz, one of the pioneers of the concept of hospice care in Poland. In 1987, the Polish Episcopate appointed Fr Dutkiewicz the National Chaplain of Hospices in Poland in recognition of his active service for the development of hospice movement. Since it was established, the Hospice in Gdańsk dynamically expanded its range of charitable activities. In 1991, The Regional Center of Palliative and Hospice Care (Wojewódzki Ośrodek Opieki Paliatywnej i Hospicyjnej) was founded, which is in charge of palliative care in Gdańsk. The Center also provides consultations in palliative medicine for the whole Pomeranian region. After Dutkiewicz's death in 2002, the Pallottine priest Piotr Krakowiak, PhD, became the new director of the Hospice and was appointed the National Chaplain of Hospices in Poland in the same year. In 2003, the hospice house was created, which offers help to the most needy patients. June 2003 saw the opening of the hospice ward for terminally ill children, which is the first hospice ward for adolescent patients in Pomeranian region. In 2004, on the initiative of Fr Krakowiak, The Hospice Foundation (''Fundacja Hospicyjna'') was established. The foundation conducts charitable and educational activities throughout Poland, raising funds for more than a hundred of Polish hospices. In January 2004, the Hospice obtained a new statute and assumed a new name in honour of its founder – the present name of the Hospice is: Father Eugeniusz Dutkiewicz SAC Hospice (''Hospicjum im. Ks. Eugeniusza Dutkiewicza SAC''). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Father Eugeniusz Dutkiewicz SAC Hospice」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
