Crystal Coast Hospice House
The mission and vision of Crystal Coast Hospice House, Inc., is to raise the community awareness and funding necessary to obtain the appropriate permits and approvals and construct an inpatient hospice facility in Carteret County to serve the residents of the Crystal Coast . The Crystal Coast service area is mostly delineated by five coastal counties - Carteret, Onslow, Craven, Pamlico and Jones.
Formed in 2008 to fulfill its mission and purpose, the Crystal Coast Hospice House began a community awareness campaign to increase knowledge and understanding of the need for a hospice house on the Crystal Coast. Raising a total of $200,000 in 2009 and 2010, CCHH used this as seed money to complete and submit an adjusted needs determination application as well as to begin the development of its campaign strategy and prepare to submit a Certificate of Need application once the adjusted need determination was approved. In October of 2010, Crystal Coast Hospice House successfully won an adjusted need determination by the State for 6 acute care inpatient beds in Carteret County that recognized the distinct characteristics of the area and the compelling need for an inpatient hospice facility. Work began in earnest to develop the concurrent strategies of a capital campaign as well as CON application preparations. Community awareness and general fundraising continued as these plans were developed.
In a very short time, all of the necessary components for a successful capital campaign were put in place and the CON application development commenced and by May of 2011, both strategies were implemented. Over the last four months, the lead gift phase of the campaign has generated $2.7 Million in gifts and pledges. The CON application was submitted to the State on August 15 and review will begin on September 1, 2011.
