REQUEST FOR ARTWORK PROPOSAL

COMMUNITY HOSPICE BAILEY CENTER FOR CARING

OUTDOOR FOUNTAINS

 

The new 12-bed Bailey Center for Caring  greatly enhances access to care for patients in St. Augustine and surrounding areas. Its location on the campus of Flagler Hospital places it adjacent to the area’s major healthcare provider, making it convenient and accessible for patients, families and physicians, including local doctors who can continue visiting their hospice patients. With this facility, Community Hospice will be able to provide the full continuum of hospice care in St. Augustine.

 

Continuing the Hospice focus on improving quality of life, all elements of the Bailey Center are designed to help families have the best experience possible. The serene and beautiful surroundings are enhanced through art program that features local St. Augustine artists.

 

The Center will open in January 2011.
