About me
Every patient and family living with serious illness deserves to have holistic, dignity conserving, and value-aligned care. Our team specializes in symptom management, emotional coping, and complex medical decision making. Our goal is to have authentic discussions, that help people prepare, and live to the fullest despite their illness. We believe that care is transformed through education.
