About
us.

Through your generosity, we brighten lives in our community by advancing care and compassion for all those who need it. Celebrating life’s moments, we connect your passion with our purpose to ensure a continuum of health and care are available for all.

Your support strengthens the entire community.

The Tidewell Foundation, Inc. is an independent charitable foundation established to ensure perpetual philanthropic support to Tidewell Hospice and portions of Empath Health’s family of companies. Charitable contributions to the Tidewell Foundation sustain and grow the critically important programs and services provided through the not-for-profit mission of Tidewell Hospice and its affiliates.

For 40 years, Tidewell Hospice has made a profound impact on the lives of thousands of patients and families across southwest Florida. A not-for-profit hospice, Tidewell’s mission is to provide care for all – even those without insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, or other sources of payment.

The Tidewell Foundation serves to elevate this commitment to providing a continuum of hospice, home health, grief counseling and unique therapeutic services to the four-county area we serve.

It starts with your generosity and is paid forward with every patient connection, family served and life changed. One relationship at a time, we’re strengthening our community with compassion, comfort, and care for patients and families – regardless of their ability to pay.
