SUNCOAST HOSPICE IS HOLISTIC IN ITS APPROACH, HELPING TO GUIDE PATIENTS AND FAMILIES AND SUPPORTING THEM IN THEIR DECISION MAKING. DESPITE GROWTH IN STATURE AND SIZE, SUNCOAST HOSPICE REMAINS A COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION WITH ITS LEADERSHIP AND 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 AND ACTIVITIES. VOLUNTEERS, NOW 2,700 STRONG, BRING A RICH ARRAY OF IDEAS, TALENT AND 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 AND FAMILY CARE TEAMS CONSIST OF PHYSICIANS, NURSES, AIDES, PHYSICAL THERAPISTS, NURSE PRACTITIONERS, CHAPLAINS, SOCIAL WORKERS AND 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 AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS AND PALLIATIVE ARTS SPECIALISTS AND SUCH OPTIONS AS MASSAGE, THERAPEUTIC TOUCH, PET THERAPY, REIKI, HUMOR THERAPY AND 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 AND 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 AND VOLUNTEERS, NOTING THE WILLINGNESS TO GO THE EXTRA MILE ON BEHALF OF PATIENTS AND FAMILIES.
