To Honor and To Celebrate

Remember your loved one with an engraved plaque displayed for a lifetime on a boardwalk, a wind chime or bench. Opportunities are available at all of our locations and begin with a gift of $1,000 or more.

Or, place their name on a plaque to be displayed on the Celebration of Life donor wall for three years. Opportunities are available at our North and Mid-County Care Centers and the Clearwater Service Center for a gift of $500.

Call Donor Engagement Officer, Tiffany Davies at (727) 523-3414 or email TiffanyDavies@EmpathHealth.org and she can guide you in finding the perfect commemorative plaque to create a lasting legacy.

Custom-made plaques that are displayed at designated spaces throughout our locations are available to remember your loved one. Perhaps it was in one of our sanctuaries where you sought peace and comfort, the patient room where your loved one was cared for, or the care station where the team planned for your loved one’s care, or at a service center where your care team resides. We have a variety of opportunities and will work with you to find a gift amount that is comfortable and meaningful.

For more information, Call Suncoast Hospice Foundation’s President Kathy Rabon at (727) 523-3406 or email KathyRabon@EmpathHealth.org and she can guide you in finding the perfect naming opportunity to create a lasting legacy.
