Profile: The Hospice of the Florida Suncoast

Your Community Hospice

The Hospice of the Florida Suncoast staff and volunteers are honored to answer the call of our founders' early mission. The Hospice was born out of the vision of an exceptional group of people who realized the value of hospice care and wanted it for their families and neighbors. In 1977 they created a small, all-volunteer organization. Today, their vision and mission remain the cornerstones of our work and organizational soul.

The Hospice is the nation's largest not-for-profit, community-based provider of hospice and palliative care. The Hospice provides care for tens of thousands of people annually, and leads innovative service delivery, social change advocacy, technology development and other end-of-life initiatives.

Our goal is to help each person in our community find quality of life and live each day with meaning and purpose. Toward that goal, we are constantly adding new programs and services to meet changing needs of our community.
