FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM DESCRIPTION	(CONTINUED FROM PART III) HOSPICE OF THE FLORIDA SUNCOAST HOSPICE SERVICES - FOUNDED 36 YEARS AGO BY VOLUNTEERS, SUNCOAST HOSPICE'S MISSION OF CARE FOCUSES ON PERSONS WITH CHRONIC OR SERIOUS ILLNESSES & EXTENDS TO THOSE ACTING AS CAREGIVERS OR WORKING THROUGH GRIEF OR TRAUMA. SUNCOAST HOSPICE IS RECOGNIZED NATIONWIDE FOR ITS INNOVATIVE SERVICE DELIVERY, ADVOCACY FOR SOCIAL CHANGE, TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA OF PATIENT RECORDS, AS WELL AS OTHER TECHNOLOGY-RELATED INNOVATIONS. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING CARE IN PRIVATE HOMES AND APARTMENTS, SUNCOAST HOSPICE SERVES THOSE WHO RESIDE IN NURSING HOMES, ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES (ALFS) ITS OWN CARE CENTERS, HOSPITALS & OTHER SETTINGS. OF THOSE WHO DIED IN PINELLAS COUNTY LAST YEAR, APPROXIMATELY 70% WERE SERVED BY SUNCOAST HOSPICE. SUNCOAST HOSPICE SERVES ALL PEOPLE WITHOUT REGARD TO DIAGNOSES, AGE, RELIGIOUS, ETHNIC OR FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES. APPROXIMATELY $2.1 MILLION IN UNCOMPENSATED CARE WAS PROVIDED TO INDIVIDUALS & FAMILIES LAST YEAR. LAST YEAR, SUNCOAST HOSPICE SERVED MORE THAN 8,200 PATIENTS BY APPROXIMATELY 1,200 STAFF MEMBERS FOR A TOTAL OF MORE THAN 515,000 PATIENT DAYS. SUNCOAST HOSPICE IS HOLISTIC IN ITS APPROACH, HELPING TO GUIDE PATIENTS & FAMILIES AND SUPPORTING THEM IN THEIR DECISION MAKING. DESPITE GROWTH IN STATURE AND SIZE, SUNCOAST HOSPICE REMAINS A COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION WITH ITS LEADERSHIP & STAFF EVER MINDFUL OF WHAT ITS COMMUNITY WANTS IN A HOSPICE PROVIDER. BECAUSE OF ITS STRONG COMMUNITY CONNECTION, SUNCOAST HOSPICE HAS ALWAYS HAD VIBRANT VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS & ACTIVITIES. VOLUNTEERS, NOW 2,700 STRONG, BRING A RICH ARRAY OF IDEAS, TALENT & EXPERIENCE TO THE ORGANIZATION. LAST YEAR ALONE, VOLUNTEERS CONTRIBUTED 246,479 HOURS OF SERVICE IN SUPPORT OF SUNCOAST'S MISSION. SUNCOAST HOSPICE RELIES ON A SOLID TEAM CONCEPT IN ITS SERVICE DELIVERY. PATIENT & FAMILY CARE TEAMS CONSIST OF PHYSICIANS, NURSES, AIDES, PHYSICAL THERAPISTS, NURSE PRACTITIONERS, CHAPLAINS, SOCIAL WORKERS & VOLUNTEERS. AT THE CENTER OF EACH TEAM ARE THE PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES WHO MAY CHOOSE TO ACCEPT OR DECLINE VARIOUS CARE OPTIONS OPEN TO THEM. PATIENT AND FAMILY CARE TEAMS MAY INCLUDE PHYSICAL & OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS & PALLIATIVE ARTS SPECIALISTS AND SUCH OPTIONS AS MASSAGE, THERAPEUTIC TOUCH, PET THERAPY, REIKI, HUMOR THERAPY & MORE. PATIENTS MAY CHOOSE TO AVAIL THEMSELVES OF THE SERVICES OFFERED ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN NEEDS, WANTS AND BELIEF SYSTEMS. FAMILIES OFTEN REMARK THAT THE PATIENT & FAMILY CARE TEAMS FIT REMARKABLY WELL INTO THEIR HOMES AND LIVES. MANY HAVE SAID THAT CARE IS MORE THAN JUST A WORD TO SUNCOAST HOSPICE STAFF & VOLUNTEERS, NOTING THE WILLINGNESS TO GO THE EXTRA MILE ON BEHALF OF PATIENTS AND FAMILIES. AS THE HUSBAND OF ONE PATIENT SAID OF SUNCOAST HOSPICE - YOU ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO SAY YES. CARE AND SERVICE MAY BE COVERED BY MEDICARE, MEDICAID, INSURANCE PROVIDERS OR PRIVATE FUNDS.
