• GSH also offers Inpatient care for help in the assessment and management of acute, complex, or uncontrolled symptoms such as pain or shortness of breath. The Inpatient Unit in Wexford, PA focuses on caring for patients with high acuity that cannot be managed at home, such as complicated delivery mechanisms i.e., subcutaneous, frequent dose titration, and skilled nursing care with frequent monitoring can be provided in the general inpatient setting. GSH provided this level of care to 283 patients and their families during this fiscal year end; 4,278 visits were provided to patients in the Inpatient Unit. The hospice staff are available in this specific setting around the clock to consult and provide support to families as they journey through the progression of the disease. Short-term respite care is also provided by nursing staff to alleviate the burden on family caregivers. Good Samaritan Hospice had 65 overall active volunteers. The active volunteers participated in bereavement, clerical, patient service, inpatient unit support, and special events. These volunteers visit patients, read them stories, create craft projects, play music, sing, and provide pet therapy visits. In addition, they provide spiritual support through prayer, singing hymns, scripture reading, and simply offer a quiet, calm presence during the last few hours of life. A team of volunteers worked diligently at beautifying the flower gardens at our inpatient unit in Wexford, PA. The patients and families have thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful landscape and flower arrangements. Over each holiday season, our volunteers graciously help decorate our inpatient units making them feel welcoming for families and visitors. Volunteers routinely bake treats and cook meals for our inpatient units; these homecooked meals are appreciated by families and visitors. We also have a team of pet therapy volunteers who visit patients and family members in our inpatient unit. Students preparing to become Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses were also offered educational opportunities at our Wexford, PA inpatient location. Students from the Community College of Beaver County (CCBC) and Heritage Valley School of Nursing completed approximately 113 clinical hours with Good Samaritan Hospice this fiscal year. These opportunities allowed for hands-on training and experience in a skilled setting.

• In 2020, Good Samaritan Hospice introduced Youth Bereavement Care (YBC), a division of Family Support Services in order to provide innovative ways to reach grieving children year-round. The program offers free support for youth and young adults who have been affected by the death of a significant person in their lives. YBC is open to not only our hospice and extended Concordia families but also to the greater community. The mission of YBC is to make an impactful difference in the lives of children and teens by providing resources, clinical support and year-round connection with other families who are grieving. Enriched programming provides robust support to children and youth as they navigate their own unique grief. YBC services are free and include a variety of virtual and in-person programming, such as grief counseling, peer support, individual and family groups, grief education and day retreats. YBC is staffed by spiritual counselors, grief and bereavement experts as well as clinicians who are trained in child mental and behavioral health and provide connective resources within the grief community. A free In-Person Event was held on August 2, 2024 at the Middlesex office location called Friday Fun Night. Youth were offered a tour of the newly completed youth bereavement room at Middlesex. Free refreshments were provided. There was a Bounce House, Kona Ice truck, art activities and crafts as well as a photo booth available for the children and families at this event. Nine GSH employees volunteered and gave over 75 hours of time to plan, prepare and execute this event which served 13 children and families. On September 7, 2024, youth bereavement held a superhero workshop at our Middlesex location where the youth created a superhero graphic novel, cape or t-shirt listing their super strengths. Nine GSH employees volunteered and gave 67 hours of time to plan, prepare and execute this event which served 4 children and their families. The Art of Healing workshop was held on March 29, 2025 at the Middlesex location. The event was a creative workshop for children who have lost a loved one and their caregivers. The attendees participated in activities and breakout sessions and created their own artwork. The children and family members were given canvases and a ceramic mug to create during the day. Each person took their completed projects home at the end of the event. Six GSH employees volunteered and gave over 72 hours of time to plan and prepare and execute this workshop which served 20 children and families. On May 2, 2025 the youth bereavement team hosted a May Memory Box event. This event was also at the Middlesex Office location where 3 children and caregivers participated. Each child created a memory box with items special to them or their loved one to help them remember and express emotion regarding their loss. They were also given a book entitled The Memory Box to take home in addition to their finished boxes. Three employees and volunteers spent 38 hours planning and implementing this event. The Youth bereavement program expanded during this year to include educational presentations at local libraries and community events. The social-emotional story time held at the Plum library included a team member reading from the Magical String book, discussing emotions and coping, as well as movement and activities for the children. The library sessions served over 15 children and adults and took 10 hours of time to prepare and present. In addition, the team held education sessions at the Beaver County School Counselor Association. This education provided information on services offered by the Youth Bereavement Program, as well as dates for upcoming programs and events. Sixteen counselors participated in the event which was the result of four hours of staff time to prepare and present. The team also had tables at several community events where education was provided on grief support services as well as the Youth Bereavement program itself. The Freeport Days event reached 19 children and 37 adults and was the result of 16 hours of time supporting the event. Two of our coordinators took part in The Caring Place's Grief Talk Virtual Conference presenting on grief care. The talk entitled Faith In Caring: One Hospice's Multigenerational Grief Guide reached over 1,000 virtual attendees. The coordinators spent a combined 16 hours preparing for this presentation. The annual Butterfly Release was held on August 18, 2024 at Cranberry Township Community Park. This community event was open to anyone who wanted to honor and celebrate the memory of their loved ones, despite whether they had a loved one on service with GSH. Over 300 hundred families released 722 monarch butterflies into the sky. Thirty volunteers and staff assisted with the event and offered 80 hours of time.

As filed on the 2024 return. A text marked withheld matched a screen for wording that may name a private individual, such as an honorific or "in memory of". Most of what it withholds names no one; it is withheld so that what does is never shown.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
