Mission
To provide access to compassionate, caring, expert and professional hospice and grief support services to patients and families at the end of life.
Who We Are
Treasure Health is the nonprofit parent organization behind Treasure Coast Hospice, a locally rooted hospice and grief support provider serving Martin, St. Lucie, and Okeechobee counties.
Since 1982, the organization has helped patients and families receive compassionate, expert end-of-life care close to home, with clinical teams, volunteers, grief counselors, pediatric specialists, Foundation partners, and community supporters working from the same promise: every patient, every time.
What we do
A community health organization built around hospice care
Treasure Health brings together the people, programs, and partnerships that make nonprofit hospice care possible on the Treasure Coast. The most visible part of that work is Treasure Coast Hospice: interdisciplinary care for patients with serious illness and support for the loved ones around them.
Care is provided wherever a patient calls home, including private homes, assisted living communities, nursing facilities, hospitals, and, when symptoms require a higher level of attention, local inpatient hospice units. The team focuses on comfort, dignity, communication, emotional support, spiritual care when desired, and practical guidance for families who may be making difficult decisions quickly.
Because the organization is nonprofit and community based, the mission is broader than a single visit or service line. Treasure Coast Hospice also provides grief support, pediatric hospice and palliative care through Little Treasures, veteran-focused care, volunteer companionship, complementary therapies, community education, and Foundation-funded support that helps care reach families regardless of ability to pay.
Treasure Coast Hospice exists so families do not have to navigate serious illness, end-of-life care, or grief alone.
Mission and purpose
Mission, vision, and the reason behind the work
Vision
To provide exceptional, quality end-of-life care to every patient, every time.
Local nonprofit roots
Local roots, local accountability, and four decades of care
Treasure Coast Hospice began as a grassroots volunteer effort led by people who believed families in this region deserved compassionate end-of-life care close to home. The organization was founded in 1982 and has grown from that early community commitment into a nonprofit healthcare organization serving more than 4,000 patients annually across Martin, St. Lucie, and Okeechobee counties.
That local beginning still shapes the way the organization works. The care teams know the communities they serve. Volunteers sit with neighbors. Counselors support grieving adults, children, and families. Foundation donors help fund programs that standard insurance does not always cover. Inpatient units in Martin and St. Lucie counties keep higher-level hospice care close to home when symptoms cannot be managed safely in the current setting.
Treasure Health also reflects the practical side of nonprofit healthcare: strong leadership, clinical quality, community partnerships, and a willingness to grow thoughtfully so the mission remains sustainable. The organization has earned public quality recognition, including a CMS 4-Star Quality Rating and recognition through NHPCO's Quality Connections program, while continuing to center the human work families feel most: comfort, clarity, and presence.
Care close to home
What Treasure Health and Treasure Coast Hospice do
The organization supports patients and families through a connected network of care, counseling, philanthropy, education, and volunteer service.
Hospice care wherever home is
Nurses, aides, physicians, social workers, chaplains, counselors, and volunteers support comfort and quality of life in homes, facilities, hospitals, and local inpatient units.
Grief support for the community
Bereavement counseling and grief programs help adults, children, schools, and families process loss before and after a death, including support that reaches beyond hospice families.
Pediatric and specialty programs
Little Treasures, Veterans Care, Treasured Pets, music therapy, massage therapy, and other programs help meet needs that are deeply human as well as medical.
Foundation-backed access
The Treasure Coast Hospice Foundation raises community support for charity care, grief services, pediatric care, complementary therapies, inpatient unit needs, and mission-driven programs.
Local nonprofit stewardship
Resources are reinvested into care, staff, volunteers, programs, education, and community support for Martin, St. Lucie, and Okeechobee families.
Guidance before families are certain
Families and clinicians can call before they know whether hospice is the right next step. The team can explain options, eligibility, timing, and what support can look like.
Where to start
You do not need to know exactly what kind of help to ask for. Treasure Coast Hospice can listen, explain options, and connect you with the right next step for care, referral, grief support, volunteering, or giving.
