Palliative Medicine Faculty & Interdisciplinary Team

The mission of our palliative care interdisciplinary team is to effectively implement and sustain an evidence-based holistic system of caring that is patient and family-centered.

Our vision is to integrate the geriatric and palliative approaches into the fabric of disease-modifying treatments.

Our team ensures that Plans of Care are built upon a foundation of shared decision-making between a knowledgeable, well-coordinated, proactive healthcare team, and an informed patient and family.
