Florida Hospice & Palliative Care
Association Announces
Awards of Excellence Winners
This past spring, the Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice
broke ground on a $5 million, 10-bed regional
residence that will provide short-term, acute, and
respite care within its service area of northwest
New Jersey and northeast Pennsylvania.
The Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice opened in 1980
and was named after the Quinlan’s daughter, Karen
Ann, who in 1975, at the age of 21, inexplicably
lapsed into a coma and a persistent vegetative state.
At that time, her parents became the spokespeople
for the right to die with dignity and the case became
the catalyst for the global conversation about the
importance of advance care planning.
