Hospice & Community Care Medical Directors
In our efforts to provide quality care to our patients and work with patients' physicians in providing care, Hospice & Community Care has two full-time physicians on staff. These medical directors manage the clinical staff and serve to work with patients' doctors.
Other Hospice & Community Care medical staff includes nurses, C.N.A.s and home health aides. Social workers and spiritual and bereavement counselors complete the team approach to care.
We are committed to increasing communication between community physicians and our staff. Our Medical Community Educational Liaisons are dedicated to providing that valuable link from physician office to hospice. We are available for in-services, office visits and patient and family consultations. Please contact us to learn more about our Medical Community Educational Liaisons by calling 803-329-1500.
