Deeply committed to providing emotional and physical support, our clinical team includes the Hospice Medical Director, nurses, social workers, home health aides, a bereavement coordinator, a volunteer coordinator, volunteers and other therapists as needed.
Most Hospice clinicians are master’s prepared and several of our nurses are Nurse Practitioners with prescribing privileges. For additional information on our NP Prescribing Program see the “Programs and Services” link.
