Consultation and Training

At Suncoast Institute, we believe learning is an ongoing process that takes place every day and our primary goal is to share what we have learned in over 32 years of serving the community. Since 1994, the Suncoast Institute has offered assistance and guidance to end-of-life professionals and we have humbly learned from the patients and families we care for, as well as leading experts in the field of palliative care. Our educational programs are the result of solid experience consulting and listening to the needs of our customers, developed in collaboration with our practice-based experts, and suitable for hospices and palliative care organizations of all sizes.

The mission of Suncoast Institute is to be a catalyst for change in the way people and organizations care for others at the end of life. By leveraging more than three decades of hands-on experience providing care to patients and extensive research, we have developed a variety of educational materials, training tools and other resources for your hospice staff, volunteers and communities. Whether it's to augment your existing educational program or build a core curriculum from the ground up, we can help you. Please take a moment to review the many options we can provide for learning, teaching and growing your organization.

Our team of consultants offers your organization both depth of experience and breadth of knowledge with expertise in the full complement of both clinical and organizational support disciplines.

With the cost of orienting new staff members increasing at an alarming rate, giving your team a strong foundation of learning and being able to offer quality educational material on many levels has become essential to achieving success.
