FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.qns.com JULY 28, 2016 • BUZZ • The Quens Courier 47 Jamaica Hospital Plans To Expand and Renovate Hospice Care Unit Jamaica Hospital Medical Center has announced plans to completely renovate and expand its hospice care unit. The hospital has provided inpatient hospice care services since 2010 and in that time has provided compassionate, comfort care to countless patients facing end of life. Their multidisciplinary team of specially trained hospice professionals offers extensive medical, social and spiritual services. “As a community-based hospital we have made a commitment to provide the highest quality hospice care services to all those who need it,” stated Jamaica Hospital President and CEO; Bruce J. Flanz. The organization’s commitment to the community was the inspiration to conceptualize what will be the newly developed Ferrara Family Center for Hospice Care. The unit’s redesign will provide patients and loved ones with a home-like environment that promotes privacy and serenity. The new unit will offer many upgrades and amenities including family meeting rooms as well as a relaxing lounge that offers families a space to gather, decompress or reflect. “Every detail from the lighting to the tranquil artwork will be carefully considered to offer our patients and families a sense of peace” said Chairman of Family Medicine and Palliative Care, Dr. Alan Roth. He continued, “As hospice professionals, we understand how important a comfortable environment is during what can be a difficult time.” To achieve their goal of completing the new Ferrara Family Center for Hospice Care, Jamaica Hospital has embarked on a $1,000,000 capital fundraising campaign. Numerous supporters of the hospital have already made generous contributions through naming opportunities and by purchasing memorial plaques. Last week, the hospital hosted a bake sale to raise funds as well as awareness for the hospice renovation. The event was highly supported and a great success. Many employees and visitors were in attendance to buy the baked treats and show their support. The plans for renovating the hospice unit at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center have been enthusiastically received. Hospital leadership, staff and supporters are excited about the future of The Ferrara Family Center for Hospice Care, which is set to begin construction this fall.
