History

Suncoast Hospice was established in 1977 by a group of volunteers who realized the value of hospice care and wanted to bring it to their community. In order to better reflect our range of services for addressing the growing and changing needs of those facing a chronic or advanced illness, our integrated network of care is now known as Empath Health. We will continue to bring medical expertise as well as emotional and spiritual support to those we serve.
