Approach to care

It is a great privilege to work with dedicated, passionate healthcare teams committed to providing high-quality care to older adults and to seriously ill patients at PAMF. I am truly blessed to work with a diverse, dynamic patient population. In palliative care, we care for patients facing a serious illness to help them with the pain and stress of the illness along with a focus on optimizing your quality of life. Ultimately, my goal is to make sure that the treatment you receive matches your preferences and that our team provides an extra layer of support for you and your family.
