From the President and CEO
As the motivational saying goes, “If you’re not moving
forward, you’re moving backward.”
There is much to celebrate about what Tidewell
has accomplished in the past year and in the 35 years
since Hospice of Sarasota County opened to serve
66 patients. Tidewell Hospice has grown into the
15th-largest hospice in the United States, serving a
record 8,424 patients in Charlotte, DeSoto, Manatee
and Sarasota counties during Fiscal Year 2015.
In the following pages, we’ll take stock of where
we are now and what we’ve done, with the steadfast
support of our donors, to get there. As you will read,
Tidewell’s mission to help people with terminal
illnesses live well by providing care, comfort and
compassion regardless of a patient’s ability to pay
inspires gratitude from our families and generosity
from our business partners.
But the future beckons, and Tidewell is
well-positioned to maintain growth amid an
ever-shifting healthcare environment. Increased
scrutiny and regulation of hospices along with
expected cuts in Medicare reimbursement will present
financial challenges.
In December, Tidewell created a holding company,
called Tidewell Health Systems, which encompasses
Tidewell Hospice, Approved Home Health, Palliative
Care services, Treasures and the organization’s real
estate properties. It offers more flexibility to provide
services to the community and makes it easier to
define the continuum of care.
Tidewell also purchased the former Fidelity
Investments building in downtown Sarasota, acquiring
a beautiful, centrally located facility for our clinical
teams. Within the past few months, Tidewell Hospice
announced the purchase of land in Lakewood Ranch
to build its eighth hospice house. Fundraising for
the building, which will firmly entrench Tidewell in a
growing area, begins in early 2016.
Health care is changing across the country, but
one thing that doesn’t change is the commitment of
Tidewell’s staff and volunteers to provide excellent care
that combines clinical skill with a compassionate touch
to this community.
Thank you for your belief in Tidewell Hospice and
for your support of our mission. Last year, Tidewell
provided more than $4 million in unreimbursed
services to patients, their loved ones and people in
the community in the form of charity care, care for
children, grief support and more.
As we move forward, Tidewell will always ensure that
your gifts continue to make a difference in the lives of
people in the communities we serve.

“All I found was toilet paper and coffee filters.
Those were my choices. I picked the coffee filters. I poured my heart out.”
Instant Messaging
There was nothing uncommon about the themes
of Sue Staley’s Dec. 17, 2014, letter to the Tidewell
Hospice House in Port Charlotte. Sue appreciated the
care Tidewell provided in the final three months of her
mother’s life. She used the words “gratitude,” “relief,” “love”
and “blessed.”
Tidewell Hospice receives hundreds of such letters
each year from families of our patients. They have
come to be known as “Letters of Love,” and they
are treasured reminders of the importance of
Tidewell’s mission to help people live well
through care, comfort and compassion.
The reason Staley’s letter stood out from the
rest was the medium she chose.
Coffee filters.
When inspiration struck, Sue and her husband,
Gordon, were in Isabela, Puerto Rico, enjoying
their first vacation since Sue’s mother, Inez
Hoffman, moved in with them 10 years earlier. Inez
passed away at age 93 on Oct. 19, 2014.
“As I was relaxing there, I was composing this letter
in my head,” Sue said in a telephone interview from
Seattle, where she and Gordon spent the summer of
2015. “The more I composed, the more I thought, ‘I have
got to get these thoughts on paper.’ I looked around
the apartment for a piece of paper, and all I found was
toilet paper and coffee filters. Those were my choices. I
picked the coffee filters. I poured my heart out.”
Sue’s letter quickly became the talk of Tidewell.
President and CEO Gerry Radford read the letter at a
quarterly staff meeting, which is broadcast to every
Tidewell office, and shared it with the board of trustees.
“That’s communication,” Radford said at the staff
meeting, “in any form you can find.”
Sue was surprised to learn about the impact her
letter made on Tidewell’s colleagues and friends. “I was
just hoping it would make it back to the Port Charlotte
people who helped out so much,” she said.
After visiting Sue and Gordon in California for several
vacations, Inez moved in with the Staleys full time.
Gordon retired after a long career with Hewlett-Packard,
and the family moved to Port Charlotte to be closer to
another of Inez’s children.
In her letter, Sue recalled what a relief it was when a
crisis caregiver told her, “We’ll be the nurse so you can
be the daughter.” Though not a smoker, Inez suffered
from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD.
As Inez’s health deteriorated, she struggled to breathe
despite the use of respirators and inhalers.
“That relieved me the burden of how to administer
meds to my mother,” Sue said. “Without a medical
background, I was at a loss to make medical decisions
for her. I trusted their decisions.”
Sue wrote that Tidewell’s care “harmonized” with what
she had envisioned for her mother’s final days.
“I feel fortunate that I was able to spend that time
with her at the end of her life. … It’s really all about
family, all about relationships. That’s all that matters,” Sue
said. “We spend our whole lives chasing other things,
but at the end it comes back to family.”

“Listen to your patients;
they will tell you what is important.”
35 Years of Giving
Though she no longer works with us, Stella Grant will always be No. 1 at Tidewell Hospice.
Stella was the first hospice nurse when Tidewell launched in 1980 as
Hospice of Sarasota County. Over the years, Stella has seen many changes
and had an impact on the lives of patients, families and colleagues. She
witnessed the beginnings of compassionate, end-of-life care as Hospice of
Sarasota County grew into Tidewell Hospice, one of the largest, not-for-profit
hospices in the country. We greatly appreciate her years of unwavering
service.
On June 26, she retired after more than 35 years of service, wrapping up
her career as a nurse educator. To honor her retirement, we asked her to
answer a few questions about her time with Tidewell.
Stella, why do you love working for Tidewell?
The satisfaction of working at Tidewell is the people. Both the colleagues
I work with and the patient/families we work with. I’m always inspired by what I call the bottom line — providing
quality of life and preventing/relieving distressful symptoms.
What’s your greatest memory during your time here?
Which one do I pick? There are so many: the 19-year-old who was given a red Corvette to drive for the weekend,
the undocumented worker we helped to get back to his family in Mexico, the grandmother who died peacefully in
the living room in the middle of her extended family, the new admission who was able to go to the beach again a
few last times because we controlled her pain.
I also was privileged to go to Great Britain for a two-week hospice seminar and while there met Dame Cicely
Saunders, who is recognized as the founder of the modern hospice movement, at St. Christopher’s Hospice in
London. Also, as part of the seminar, I spent five days in a hospice in Scotland.
What are you looking forward to during retirement?
I look forward to improving my woodcarving skills, doing some traveling and not getting up early!
What’s one piece of advice you could give to your fellow Tidewell colleagues?
Listen to your patients; they will tell you what is most important! Also, you need to take care of yourself
physically, emotionally and spiritually.
On behalf of all the patients, families and colleagues you’ve touched, we thank you,
Stella, and appreciate the positive impact you’ve made in our lives!

“This is a more centralized area to
where most of our patients live.”
The Center of Attention
Its angular architecture is sleek and eye-catching, but the Southgate building offers Tidewell Hospice more than
just a pretty façade.
In the summer of 2014, Tidewell purchased the former Fidelity Investments office building, a 17,580-squarefoot facility at 3550 S. Tamiami Trail in Sarasota. Administrative offices from the Mound Street facility moved to the
building in April 2015.
The Sarasota Home, Assisted-living Facilities Central and Long-term Care Central teams call the building their
home, and there is a large meeting area on the second floor of the three-story building. Tenants Retina Care
Consultants, P.A., and Beneficial Communities share the Southgate building with Tidewell.
“This a more centralized area to where most of our patients live,“ CEO Gerry Radford said. “This is also about
owning versus renting. The idea is that this will save us money over time.”
Tidewell had long sought a building close to Sarasota Memorial Hospital, one of Tidewell’s top referring facilities.
Its centralized location along a busy thoroughfare allows Southgate to be the face of Tidewell in the Sarasota
community.
Another benefit to Southgate is that the public areas and office space are segregated. Community members can
visit the sun-splashed lobby or a grief counseling room without walking through employees’ offices. Though the
Tidewell space is fully inhabited, there is room for growth in the office areas.
Additionally, Tidewell offers donor recognition through naming opportunities both on the interior and exterior.

“She can’t believe it.
‘Why are you so good to me?’ ”
Flower Power
As she lovingly arranges irises in one vase and
wildflowers in another, it’s easy to figure out how
Marie Gidlund feels about the flowers she receives
during nearly every visit from Tidewell Hospice.
But if you ask the 98-year-old patient about what the
bouquets mean to her, she’ll let you know in glowing terms.
“It makes me feel like some famous person,”
Marie said, beaming, at her Bahia Vista
Estates Mobile Home Park residence.
Marie and her Tidewell CNA, Janet Hughes, work
together to arrange the flowers, then find the best
place for them to be displayed in the home.
While she works, Marie talks about her three
grandchildren, her life growing up in Milwaukee and her
love of chocolate. Around her home, the evidence of
previous Tidewell visits provides a beautiful backdrop.
“I always love flowers. I’m so happy to have
them. I don’t get out to see them. … This has
been really, really wonderful,” Marie said.
Thanks to the generosity of a local business,
Tidewell nurses and admissions personnel now
have a new tool in their mission to help people
live well. Trader Joe’s in Sarasota donates unsold
flowers and herbs it might otherwise discard.
Volunteers pick up the flowers five days a week
and deliver them to the nearby Southgate Office. The
flowers are used to brighten the days and the living
spaces of Tidewell Hospice patients and their families.
“They’re so surprised, especially when a social
worker goes on an admission and they come with a
bouquet of roses. They’re taken aback,” said Kendall
Weigand, a volunteer coordinator for Tidewell.
As expected, roses and orchids are most popular
among patients, but Trader Joe’s donates herbs, too.
Kendall said certain herbs, like basil, remind patients of
past meals with family and can stir deep emotions.
The donations often fill a hallway outside the
volunteer coordinators’ office at Southgate. Tidewell
colleagues stop by throughout the day to pick up
bouquets on the way to patient visits or admissions.
Denise Olyer, a real estate broker associate and
licensed real estate trainer at RoseBay International in
Sarasota, volunteers to pick up flowers one day a week.
Denise jokes she goes by the name “Wednesday” around
Tidewell because she is so dedicated to delivering
flowers from Trader Joe’s on that day. She has missed just
three weeks since starting her volunteer assignment.
“Our routine is I call them in the morning and ask,
‘Do you have flowers for us?’ And the answer is almost
always yes. And then I show up between 9 and 11
and pick them up and bring them to our location
here (Southgate),” Denise said. “It’s such an important
gift to give. So I’ve always just made sure they have
someone to fill in, or I would find somebody.”
Citing corporate policy, Trader Joe’s declined to discuss
the flower donations. Denise said it’s no secret how
the employees feel about their role in the process.
“I see virtually the same people every single
Wednesday, and they always have a smile on their
face,” Denise said. “I know Trader Joe’s is probably a
wonderful, wholesome place to work … but I can’t
help but think that’s their way of giving also.”
Janet gets to see that reaction every
time she drops in on Marie.
“She just has this big, beautiful
smile, and her mouth goes
wide open,” said Janet, who
takes flowers to six patients.
“She can’t believe it. She says,
‘Why are you so good to me?’”

Tidewell Endowment
Estate Gifts
A robust endowment should be an essential
component of any non-profit organization’s financial
plan. Just as individuals save for the future and
prepare for unforeseen economic conditions, Tidewell
Hospice is building its nest egg in order to ensure its
ability to provide high-quality end-of-life services for
generations.
With a strong endowment, Tidewell is able to offset
the increasing costs of providing care amid decreasing
reimbursements. Endowment gifts also help sustain
ancillary services such as grief support, veterans’
programs, complementary and children’s services,
which receive no direct funding from Medicare/
Medicaid.
Tidewell’s Legacy Fund is a designated pool of assets
held and invested to provide long-term growth and
dividends. The principal of the endowment is invested,
and a portion of the interest earned can be made
available for discretionary use by Tidewell’s Board of
Trustees. Donors can designate funds for a specific
purpose or request that support be directed where
need is the greatest.
Creating a named fund with a minimum investment
of $50,000 through a donation of cash, securities or
a bequest in a will is one way to recognize a unique
person while providing financial support to Tidewell.
To learn more about the Tidewell endowment
program, contact Denise Pope at (941) 552-7658

GRIEF EDUCATION AND BEREAVEMENT
UNRESTRICTED SUPPORT
Tidewell provides grief support free of charge to anyone who has
lost a loved one, regardless of whether that person was served
by hospice. Medicare and insurance do not cover the cost of grief
programs.
Tidewell uses unrestricted support gifts to cover needs where they
are the greatest.

CHAP Accreditation
Both Tidewell (in July) and its agency, Approved Home
Health (in September), received reaccreditation from
the Community Health Accreditation Program (CHAP).
Approved Home Health recorded a clean
review, and Tidewell was once again
recognized as one of the nation’s best
hospices, achieving accreditation
with deemed status. The designation
signifies that Tidewell meets a gold
standard of excellence among hospice
care providers. Tidewell has been CHAP
certified since 2008 and deemed since 2011. The
accreditation also certifies Tidewell as a Medicare provider.
Certified Jewish Hospice
In December, Tidewell Hospice received reaccreditation
from the National Institute of Jewish Hospice at its
annual conference in Newark, N.J. Held since 2006,
the accreditation allows Tidewell to access staff
training, updates on new Jewish insights on treating
Jewish terminally ill patients and aid in answering
questions on Jewish customs and practices.
