Empath Health was established in 1977 by a group of volunteers who realized the value of hospice care and wanted to bring it to their community. Empath Health is a nonprofit organization that provides care, compassion and comfort to Pinellas County residents of all ages experiencing advanced illness, nearing the end of life or experiencing grief. Care is provided by interdisciplinary teams working in a variety of care settings from patients homes, nursing homes or ALFs or one of our Suncoast Hospice Care Centers.

Empath Health is an integrated network of care encompassing hospice and palliative care, home health and physician services, assistance for independent living and day care for seniors, services for those infected or affected by HIV and advance care planning. Through every step of every journey, we offer compassion through extraordinary care, hope through innovative services and inspiration through endless encouragement.
