Academic Partners
Suncoast Hospice was one of the
founding members of The Center for Hospice, Palliative Care and
End-of-life Studies at the University of South Florida. A unique,
disciplinary partnership center that connects academic faculty and
research expertise with community provider research and clinical
expertise to identify best practices and disseminate the latest
research on a wide range of End-of-life issues.
The Center supports research collaboration, funds pilot research
grants to faculty, graduate students and provider researchers,
graduate fellowships, and sponsors national educational conferences
and seminars. The community benefits because of the access it gains
to patients and families enabling the dissemination of practical
advice on how to maximize the benefits to patients, families and
care providers.

The Suncoast Hospice and Suncoast Institute have entered into a
partnership with Duke University's Institute on Care at the End of
Life. The partners share a common mission: to educate people about
the intersection of spirituality and health care at the end of
life. Leaders from both organizations are committed to
collaborating on educational opportunities, fellowships and
co-marketing materials for end-of-life care. Suncoast Hospice and
Suncoast Institute are marketing the ICEOL publication Jewish
Ritual, Reality and Response at the End of Life: A Guide to Caring
for Jewish Patients and Families. The guide is featured in Suncoast
Institute's Resource Catalog. "We are excited by this alliance and
the prospects for a rich and lasting collaboration with our south
Florida partners." Said ICEOL director Dr. Richard Payne. "The
marketing of the guide on Jewish end-of-life care is only the first
step in what I am sure will be a fruitful collaboration."

Suncoast
Hospice 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.
Suncoast Solutions® exists to dramatically
improve quality of life across America by being the world-class
leader in hospice, palliative and home care computer technology and
support. Suncoast Hospice formed Suncoast Solutions® in early 1997
to extend its mission to provide the best possible care for
patients and families, and create what is considered to be the
premier end-of-life care software system available today.
