achieving comfort from pain and other physical symptoms

The type of compassionate care we offer goes beyond managing the physical symptoms of a life-limiting illness, and encompasses the spiritual elements that are part of many of our patients’ and families’ experience.

Our chaplain works closely with community clergy to assure that each patient’s particular and expressed religious and spiritual needs are fully met.
