The organization was the first hospice program in Northeast Florida and one of a few operating programs in the state when Florida began granting hospice licenses in 1981;[1] Community Hospice received their license in 1983[2] and in 2008, assisted nearly 1,000 patients daily[3] and more than 6,000 patients a year.[2] HistoryCommunity Hospice was founded by two nurses, one minister and a small group of volunteers who worked out of an office at Methodist Hospital. The program was certified by Medicare in 1983,[3] and like all Hospice organizations in the United States, relies on Medicare for 80-85% of their revenue. Unlike most other hospices, Community Hospice receives no money from the local United Way; instead relying on the Community Hospice Foundation as a reliable source of funding. The remainder of their operating income comes from contributions from clients, fund raising initiatives throughout the year and private insurance payments. ChildrenThe needs of children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions are very different from those of adults. Community PedsCare, the pediatric palliative and hospice program developed by Community Hospice in collaboration with Wolfson Children's Hospital, Nemours Children's Clinic and University of Florida.[6] The program, begun in 2000, offers individualized support, comfort and care to these children and their families.[3] In October, 2008, PedsCare was a recipient of the 2008 Quality in Palliative Care Leadership Award, which is "presented annually to recognize organizations which have enhanced their palliative care services by implementing the palliative care principles supported by the National Consensus Project for Quality Palliative Care and the National Quality Forum".[4] LocationsCommunity Hospice provides services to 90% of the Greater Jacksonville market area. The organization has several outreach centers and eight "Centers for Caring" for patients who require treatment for symptoms that cannot be managed in another setting. A facility in St. Johns County, Florida is the newest inpatient location.[5]
Other community outreach offices are located at Gateway Office and Nassau County Office. EducationThe Charles M. Neviaser Educational Institute at Community Hospice provides clinical education to area medical professionals on subjects related to hospice and palliative care, including pain management, the dying process, grief and loss, advance directives and ethics in end-of-life care. There are no other independent, nonprofit hospices in Florida that provide this information. In September, 2004, the Neviaser Educational Institute, together with Mayo Clinic Jacksonville established a 12-month physician fellowship in palliative medicine to train physicians in end-of-life or chronic, non-curable disease care. The Institute also served the Northeast Florida community with educational outreach programs to consumers.[11] FoundationThe Community Hospice Foundation, established in 2000, provides funding to support end-of-life care and education. Funding is made possible through individual and corporate donations, planned gifts from will and estates, and special fundraising events.[12] Fund raisersCommunity Hospice holds several fund raisers each year with proceeds benefiting patients who are unable to pay for their care. Among them:
In addition, it maintains the Community Hospice Thrift Shop to help raise funds.[14] Other groups and organizations have also assisted in fundraising for Community Hospice & Palliative Care. The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has primarily donated its annual proceeds to Community Hospice & Palliative Care, totalling over $1.5 million since 1998.[15] The Esprit de Corps, a group of young professionals founded in 1986, provides volunteers to assist in Community Hospice events.[16] Homicide survivorsCommunity Hospice was awarded a $70,000 grant to support the Homicide Survivor's Program, a pilot project at the Duval County Medical Examiner's Office. Counselors provided grief and loss services to family members of homicide victims. In 2005, there were 125 homicides in the 4th Judicial Circuit.[17][18] Five WishesAging with Dignity named Community Hospice of Northeast Florida as the 2006 "National Innovator" for being the single largest distributor in the United States of the Five Wishes living will.[19] Community Hospice distributed 358,000 copies of the living will to residents of Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau and St. Johns counties. The document was created by Aging with Dignity.[20][21]GeorgiaCommunity Hospice merged with Hospice of Southeast Georgia in 1994, creating Community Hospice of Southeast Georgia (CHSG). The organization assisted 100-125 patients yearly in Glynn, McIntosh, Ware, Camden, Brantley and Charlton counties in Georgia. As Hospice of the Golden Isles in Brunswick, Georgia grew, they expanded their service area, which overlapped that of CHSG. There were barely enough patients for one agency, and CHSG lost $200,000 in FY 2000, so to avoid competing, CHSG stopped accepting patients in late 2001.[22] References1. ^The Hospice of the Florida Suncoast: About Us-Three decades {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081211080352/http://www.thehospice.org/about/ |date=2008-12-11 }} 2. ^Florida Times-Union: October 1, 2008- An ailing hospice industry may not get care it needs by Jeremy Cox 3. ^1 2 Community Hospice Celebrating 25: Looking back-timeline{{dead link|date=August 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 4. ^1 Community Hospice: October 2, 2008-Community PedsCare Wins Prestigious National Award {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101121000530/http://communityhospice.com/getinvolved/release54.htm |date=November 21, 2010 }} 5. ^Scanlan, Dan: "Area hospices at odds over inpatient facility in Orange Park" Florida Times-Union, December 2, 2010 6. ^1 2 Community Hospice: Get Support-Community Hospice Care-What are the options for where I can live when receiving care? {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080517153656/http://www.communityhospice.com/getsupport/care_sub03.htm |date=2008-05-17 }} 7. ^Florida Times-Union: September 6, 2001-Community Hospice opens center by Sarah Skidmore 8. ^Community Hospice: December 15, 2006-Community Hospice of Northeast Florida Names New Inpatient Facility on City's Westside {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070707044553/http://www.communityhospice.com/getinvolved/release_32.htm |date=July 7, 2007 }} 9. ^Community Hospice: March 13, 2007-Community Hospice of Northeast Florida Names New Inpatient Facility to Serve Beaches Area {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080511202427/http://www.communityhospice.com/getinvolved/release_33.htm |date=May 11, 2008 }} 10. ^"Bailey Family Center for Caring previewed" St. Augustine Record, January 6, 2011M 11. ^Mayo 12. ^Volunteer Match: 13. ^Florida Times-Union: November 30, 2008-Church's 'free sale' will benefit anyone who needs help by Dan Scanlan 14. ^Community Hospice of Northeast Florida: Get Involved-Thrift Shop Community Hospice of Northeast Florida: Get Involved-Thrift Shop {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090129232421/http://www.communityhospice.com/getinvolved/thrift.htm |date=2009-01-29 }} 15. ^[https://www.ameliaconcours.org/charities.asp Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance: Charitable Status-Community Hospice of Northeast Florida] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090116222938/http://ameliaconcours.org/charities.asp |date=2009-01-16 }} 16. ^Impact: Esprit de Corps' {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070918235857/http://www.impactjax.com/LeftNav/beyondIMPACT/EspritDeCorps/tabid/123/Default.aspx |date=2007-09-18 }} 17. ^Community Hospice: April 25, 2006-Community Hospice and Duval County Medical Examiner's Office Form Homicide Survivor's Pilot Project {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509163950/http://www.communityhospice.com/getinvolved/release_13.htm |date=May 9, 2008 }} 18. ^Florida Times-Union: June 4, 2006-Crime Victim Support 19. ^Community Hospice: November 16, 2006-Community Hospice of Northeast Florida recognized as 2006 National Innovator by Aging With Dignity {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070707234524/http://www.communityhospice.com/getinvolved/release_28.htm |date=July 7, 2007 }} 20. ^Community Hospice: November 14, 2005-Governor Proclaims November 2005 Hospice Month {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070210075534/http://communityhospice.com/getinvolved/release_20.htm |date=February 10, 2007 }} 21. ^Aging with Dignity: Project News-Five Wishes 22. ^Florida Times-Union: October 31, 2001-Community Hospice will leave Georgia by Teresa Stepzinski External links
