Suncoast Hospice House Bayfront is one of three hospice houses operated by  Suncoast Hospice. It’s situated in a quieter, beautifully-remodeled hospital wing that  looks and feels like home. It accommodates 12 patients, who may move in right from the  hospital or be admitted from other places. Suncoast Hospice’s care is patient and family-focused, to comfort patients at the end of life and support their families and caregivers.

For information about the open house, call Melissa Moré, 727-523-3442.
