The "Our Mission of Compassion," annual report tells the story of our organization’s commitment to our community by sharing an unusual year as we faced the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. We see the passion and commitment of our community, staff, donors and volunteers as we worked to keep our patient’s, families and staff safe. The report also highlights some of the special occurrences from 2020 as the organization continued to grow — from the creation of our parent company, Alivia Care, Inc., to the naming of our newest president and CEO.

OUR MISSION OF Compassion

TO A NEW F I SCAL YEAR A Bright Start
As our new 2020 fiscal year began in October 2019, Community Hospice & Palliative Care was fulfilling our mission of compassion across 16 counties in Northeast and North Central Florida, caring for over 1,300 patients and their families facing end-of-life decisions.
Each of the patients we care for daily is assigned an interdisciplinary care team composed of physicians and advanced practice registered nurses, hospice nurses, social workers, volunteers, bereavement counselors, chaplains, specialty therapists, and hospice care aides.

The majority of our high-touch, in-person team approach to compassionate hospice care is provided wherever a patient calls home, which could be their residence, an assisted living facility, or a skilled nursing facility. Our mission of compassion was underway in this new fiscal year, and so were our fundraising efforts to ensure that no patient would ever be denied care due to an inability to pay. In October 2019, the Community Hospice & Palliative Care Foundation team held their annual Halloween Doors & More fundraiser at The Jacksonville Fairgrounds, followed by three December events: our Circle of Angels holiday fundraiser at the home of Ray and Linda Matuza, and two Tree of Life celebrations, one on our Mandarin campus in Jacksonville and the other on our Stephen R. Chapman Family Community Campus in St. Augustine.
Upon the successful completion of these signature events, the team began planning their next two annual events, the Kelsi Young Gift of Care fundraiser and the These Kids Can Play event at THE PLAYERS, both
of which take place annually in March.

“ I know this is where I am meant to be. Hospice is my calling.” - Adrienne, APRN -
Also, during this same early fiscal year time frame, our Marketing and Communications team was developing a new advertising campaign that would launch in the new calendar year.
They asked leaders throughout the organization for the names of people who best exemplify our mission of compassion and would be willing to be the “faces” of this new campaign.
After a long selection process, because so many names were submitted, the group was narrowed, and the team went to work to collect their stories and create individual and group photo shoots for the campaign.
The “We Are Community. The People Who Care.” campaign would soon launch on billboards, in print, online, and on the radio.
In the first few months of our fiscal year, we were busy caring for our patients and families. We were actively fundraising and busily developing an advertising campaign to recognize and thank our people for their commitment to our mission of compassion.

O F C OM P A S S I ON Our Mission
What was world news in the second quarter of our fiscal year became local news as the pandemic found its way to our corner of the world in February of 2020.
We met daily, prepared, and seemingly overnight initiated a work-from-home order in accordance with local, state, and federal guidelines. This meant that hundreds of our 1,000- person staff across 16 counties would now require laptops, and other job-specific equipment, to stay connected to ensure our mission of compassion. Technology was in short supply, and when it was available, shipping was problematic. This was the beginning of what would become our new normal, and we were determined to innovate at every turn. Also in limited supply during the early months of 2020 was personal protective equipment (PPE). Thanks to the tireless efforts of our people and our board of directors, Community Hospice & Palliative Care was able to secure and store ample supplies of PPE. Our donors answered the call for assistance and helped fund the enormous unexpected and unbudgeted expense of protecting our people, our patients, and their families. Their financial support protected and saved lives, while old and new community partners such as Manifest Distillery, Bacardi, David Thompson’s Bridal, and Home Instead Senior Care donated and discounted supplies to keep us operational.

“ What a blessing that I can help and
Now that we had PPE, we needed to retrain our entire clinical staff immediately on proper donning and doffing to limit the spread of infection. At the same time, we quickly established COVID-19 infection control policies for our staff when interacting with our patients and families. We created new visitation guidelines for our nine centers for caring. Visitors would be required to wear a face mask and gown while on the unit and follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) guidelines.
do what I love. ” - Community Volunteer
PPE was also in short supply for the general public, so we sent a communication to our 1,000-person volunteer army to ask if they would be willing to sew masks and gowns to help.
Our compassionate volunteers personally purchased fabric and supplies and made hundreds of masks and gowns within just a few short weeks. These handmade treasures took the burden of sourcing PPE off the shoulders of our families, allowing them, in some instances, to say their final goodbyes in this unsettling new world we found ourselves in.
Everything about COVID-19 was a mystery, but we knew we urgently needed an effective and timely solution to test our staff for COVID-19 to limit the spread of infection in the event of exposure.

Options were incredibly limited in March, but the Mayo Clinic, a partner agency since before we opened the Anne and Donald McGraw Center for Caring on their campus in 2007, came to our rescue.
Thanks to Mayo, we set up our own drive-through testing site on our Mandarin campus and obtained test results within 48 hours. This innovative partnership helped us ensure the health and safety of our people and their interactions with our
patients and their families. Community Hospice & Palliative Care was the first hospice agency to conduct staff testing.
In this new normal of PPE, CDC guidelines, and staff testing, we never stopped our mission of compassion. The daily news was rife with shutdowns and closures, so we knew we needed to find an innovative way to care for our patients in this locked-down environment, especially those living in assisted and skilled nursing facilities.
We began testing a telehealth solution by adding it to our HIPAA-compliant (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) text messaging system.

“ This innovative solution will allow u s to increa s e our contact and make certain our patients, caregivers, and families have the support they need. ”
- Phillip Ward Chief Operating Officer
The result of this simple yet innovative digital solution was incredible. Within 24 hours of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) announcement that telehealth could be utilized for hospice care, we were making virtual visits.
Community Hospice & Palliative Care was the first hospice agency to offer virtual visits in our service area. Our people and our mission of compassion would not be interrupted.

O U R M I S S I ON E
In these early months of 2020, we were operating in the present amidst a pandemic while making plans for the immediate future.
To understand the future, we need to look back at the history of our organization. Over the past 20 years, Community Hospice & Palliative Care created and launched non-hospice programs to help adults and children earlier in their disease progression by focusing on quality-of-life care. For example, we were the first hospice agency in our primary service area to launch palliative care, one of the first in the nation to launch a pediatric palliative and hospice care program, and one of a select few in the nation chosen to pilot Medicare’s Care Choices, a program for people who qualify for hospice care but wish to continue curative treatments. Over the years, lessons from these programs helped us create PACE Partners of Northeast Florida, a joint venture with senior care expert Aging True and its Cathedral Foundation. PACE stands for Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, and the program is designed to provide comprehensive medical and social services to frail elderly people who are certified to live in a nursing home but choose to stay at home.
Plans for a VIP reception and ribbon cutting to celebrate the opening of The PACE Place center on our Acosta-Rua campus in March were thwarted by the news of the pandemic, but the center opened as scheduled to care for the program’s participants. PACE Partners of Northeast Florida is the only program of its kind in North Florida and one of only five in the state.

As the pandemic surged and summer approached, several years of planning culminated in a national announcement on June 1, 2020. Community Hospice & Palliative Care’s board of directors announced the formation of a new board and parent organization, Alivia Care, Inc., to help more people in more places to live better with advanced illness. The Alivia Care, Inc., board selected current Community Hospice & Palliative Care President and Chief Executive Officer Susan Ponder-Stansel as their president and chief executive officer. The structure of Alivia Care was designed to support additional programs and services beyond hospice care, thereby taking over the groundwork laid by Community Hospice & Palliative Care to help people live better earlier in their disease progression. The future structure of Alivia Care, Inc., includes all- inclusive, home health, hospice, and palliative care.
Phillip Ward, chief operating officer of Community Hospice & Palliative Care, was selected by the board as the new president and chief executive officer of Community Hospice & Palliative Care. Ward began his career with Community Hospice & Palliative Care in 1992 and has a dual responsibility as the chief operating officer of Alivia Care, Inc.
At the same time Alivia Care, Inc., was founded, so was Alivia Care of Georgia. This subsidiary organization was created to partner with community-based hospice providers in Georgia to create and strengthen care solutions through vision, leadership, investment, and advocacy. And so the mission of compassion continues to expand to care for more people in more places. Shortly thereafter, affiliation discussions began with Hospice of the Golden Isles in Brunswick, Georgia, and Hospice Satilla in Waycross, Georgia, to support their quality-driven, community-based, non-profit missions.
L E AD I NG T H E WA Y With more than three decades of hospice experience, Philip Ward is ready for his new role.

As the summer months began, we realized we needed to plan for what we believed would be an eventuality: caring for the acute needs of COVID-19-positive
hospice patients. We had PPE and supplies, thanks to the generosity of our donors, but what we needed was a designated center for caring for our COVID-19- positive patients. Our nursing and facilities teams began the hard work of creating a safe, secure, negative-pressure environment at our Acosta-Rua Center for Caring in Jacksonville. We were able to open this innovative 24/7 facility in May 2020, thereby affording our COVID-19-positive patients the type of care they deserve when experiencing acute symptoms. This around-the-clock care afforded family members a welcome respite from caregiving responsibilities. The Acosta-Rua family’s namesake facility was the first—and it remains the only—center of its kind in our service area for COVID-19-positive hospice patients. What is even more remarkable is that every person on the center’s staff volunteered to be on the care team, knowingly putting themselves in harm’s way to care for the most vulnerable patients.
A S A F E S P A C E Acosta-Rua Center for Caring in Jacksonville (above) has become a one-of-a-kind facility to provide hospice services to COVID-19 patients during this unprecedented pandemic.

E mbracin g I nnova t ion Facilitating memorable moments was more of a challenge when it came to our patients living in assisted living and skilled nursing facilities.Families were unable to see, much less embrace, their loved ones. With the idea to create an innovative solution for all facility residents, not just our hospice patients, our team went to work. Volunteers Jeff Dodd and Frank Bondurant constructed portable “hugging stations” that could be used at assisted living and skilled nursing facilities throughout our service area. A memorable moment came when U.S. veteran William Hines was able to hug his wife, Ann, for the first time since COVID-19 emerged and finally celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. “She’s my everything,” he said. HUGGING STATIONS
Our team made this possible two weeks before Ann died. William was so grateful to have had that one last embrace with his wife. Our mission of compassion would not be interrupted.
“ For the family to be able to give them a hug is wonderful. ” - Bruce McCorkle Administrator of Windsor Care

Stories of compassion were pouring in from across our service area. Mary Mack, advanced practice registered nurse, learned that one of her hospice patients was a fan of Brian Courtney Wilson, a gospel music artist. After doing some research, she was able to locate the artist in Texas, and share how important his music was to her dementia patient, Betty Daniels. On June 24, Brian gave a beautiful performance, virtually, for Betty. This lovely patient was formerly unaware of her surroundings but was now smiling and singing along with her favorite artist. Brian continued to perform for Betty weekly, and also began doing so for other patients (left) in our care. Another patient with complications from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Bruce Cook, wanted to renew his vows with this wife of 19 years before he became too ill. Our team sprang into action to make the ceremony a reality, providing a memorable moment for both the patient and his beloved bride. As summer came to a close, we continued to expand our services even amidst the pandemic. Community Palliative Consultants, a division of Community Hospice & Palliative Care, expanded its hospital-based services from Northeast Florida to Alachua County in North Central Florida to help people earlier in their disease progression. The program was launched in partnership with North Florida Regional Medical Center (NFRMC) in Gainesville.
“ All of us were teary-eyed. ... It’s a beautiful thing . ” - Family & Staff Seeing patients’ joy during performances
Another first was the launch of Community PedsCare in North Central Florida. Community’s signature program in support of children with life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses could now expand its mission of caring beyond its original service area to help more families.

H er o of the Year
We bridged the physical gap between Jacksonville and St. Augustine with the construction of a new inpatient unit in Baptist Medical Center South. When completed in December, it will be the third Baptist Health System unit and the tenth in the history of Community Hospice & Palliative Care.
We continued to use virtual means to reach our communities, educating them on the importance of advance care planning in uncertain times. We helped our community at large with free virtual grief and bereavement sessions, charting new waters when it came to healing after the loss of a loved one due to COVID-19. And we coordinated free seminars for underserved communities with their leaders in the hope of dispelling the myths about hospice so they might allow us to help their family one day. Somewhere amidst this unprecedented year, we launched a new employee rewards and recognition campaign called the Community HERO program. We’ve always known that our people are heroes, but this new engagement tool allows co-workers to recognize each other in real time. Employees can nominate each other for a High Five to acknowledge an action or deed worthy of a virtual high five. If someone goes above and beyond, exemplifying one of the organization’s values, they can be nominated for a HERO award.
Kizzy McCray-Sheppard
“During a patient’s recent hospitalization, Kizzy sang them ‘Amazing Grace’ and they loved it.
“Later, the patient’s family member asked if Kizzy would sing to the patient over the phone again. What a lovely way to say we care about our patients.
“My hat is off to Kizzy for this amazing show of love and leadership!”
At the end of the year, one out of the 12 monthly HERO winners is selected as the HERO of the Year, the person who most embodies our mission of compassion. The winner of the 2020 HERO of the Year award is Kizzy McCray-Sheppard (above right) .
- Dr. Ana A. Sanchez, M.D.
As we continue to expand, our mission, vision, and values remain the same. “We Are Community. The People Who Care!” and we work with HEROES!
