When your daughter is your best friend, it is especially important for you to be at her wedding. This was the case for Tidewell Hospice patient Linda Tuller and her daughter Tina. Tina wanted her mother to be a part of her special day, so our team made it happen. #hospice #hospicecare #HospiceMoments #tidewellhospice #EmpathHealth #FullLifeCare ... See MoreSee Less

After being shot down twice in Vietnam, Tidewell Hospice patient George Downing's wish came as a surprise to us. The former Army helicopter pilot requested to, "jump from a perfectly good airplane." The Tidewell Foundation, a member of Empath Health, was able to make that wish come true for George, age 72, through its Wishes Fund. We are elated that we could help create this special memory for George and his loved ones. Read more about George and his special jump in our recent blog.#WeHonorVeterans #VietnamVeteran #AirForce #Nonprofit #Hospice #Philanthropy #BucketList #Florida ... See MoreSee Less

Patient’s First Skydive a Success with Help from Tidewell Team, Wishes Fund

George Downing was shot down twice as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. The Army never taught him how to jump out of a flying object, so he rode those wounded helicopters to the ground.
