Population(s) Served

Our Children’s Bereavement Program is available to any child or family that is dealing with a terminal illness or that has lost a loved one, regardless of whether or not they were on our service. Parents/guardians seek education and support as they help their children work through their personal grief, as well as their children. Camp Mariposa, a Children's Bereavement Camp (ages 5-12), is held 3 times a year to help children understand that they are not alone. Our counselors are present in the community and the schools to aid in grief education for those who are involved in the lives of youth.

Population(s) Served

This Center is like no other in Marion County offering an integrated counseling service for the citizens in our community. Individual and group programs range from play therapy for youngsters to grief workshops for adults, where participants paint, journal, make masks and create music.All services are free.

Goals & Strategy

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our goal is to make hospice care more accessible and available to all who are eligible in our service area, regardless of race, creed or ability to pay. For more than 35 years, we have been the sole not-for-profit comprehensive hospice service in Marion County, Florida, serving both urban patients and those in our highly rural county.

Through physician and hospital liaisons, we market our care and services to medical groups and the three local hospitals, expediting admissions and encouraging physicians to make timely referrals to enhance the quality of life for their patients.

Our palliative care consulting service furthers the organization's mission and strategy by working closely with physicians to make comfort care available to their patients.

Admission rates are same-day and are often completed in the hospital by the liaisons, so patients return home with hospice care in place. Our conversion rate is 92%, market share is 93% and market penetration is 69.7%.

Our Community Outreach efforts are strong in senior populations, faith-based events, Hispanic and African-American communities, partnerships and free bereavement workshops.

Our Healthcare First family satisfaction and quality measures scores are always higher than the national average.

Hospice of Marion County has been accredited by the Joint Commission since 2010 and received Deemed Status designation in 2014.
