Project Overview
Empath Health is the country’s largest not-for-profit health system delivering non-acute care and services through its skilled, medical, and holistic programs to individuals with chronic, advanced, and terminal illnesses and those experiencing grief. They were created in 2021 through the merger of two leading nonprofit, integrated networks of care: Empath Health, serving the Tampa Bay region, and Stratum Health System, serving Southwest Florida. In 2012 Creative Sign Designs began partnering with Suncoast Hospice to update signage at various locations throughout the Tampa Bay region. This update is due to the name change to Empath Health, which reflects the current range of services Suncoast Hospice offers. During this relationship, Creative collaborated with Suncoast Hospice – Empath Health to develop signage that reflects the vibrancy of their brand and assures that visitors to their facilities can navigate their campuses easily.
