Nation's Capital-Maryland Opportunities - Palliative Care MD/ Medical Director
MedStar Health
About MedStar Health
Palliative care is specialized team care for people living with a serious illness. This type of care is focused on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family.
This care is available to people at any stage of serious illness and can be provided alongside curative treatment. Central to this care is the communication and coordination of treatment options to maximize quality of life, to care for the patient and family as a unit, and to provide treatment consistent with patient’s values and beliefs.
Palliative care at MedStar Health
The interdisciplinary palliative team includes physician, nursing, social work and pharmacy disciplines as well as volunteers. For each consultation, we partner closely with other members of the patient care team to provide an integrative and individualized approach to every person’s care plan.
Our service is available to all adult patients admitted to MedStar Health. A consult is typically initiated by the primary medical team for a patient, but can be suggested by nursing, patients, families, or other staff members. Our services include:
-Expert p...ain and symptom management
-Guidance navigating difficult and complex treatment decisions
-Advance Care Planning
-Emotional and spiritual support for you and your family
-Assistance coordinating transitions of care
-Communication about what to expect during serious illness and resources to support patients and families in multiple care settings
What to expect
Patients with advanced heart failure often receive palliative care from the beginning of the treatment process. Your team will help you and your loved ones develop a customized plan for pain management, reducing stress and managing other concerns.
We’ll discuss and help you address how your condition is affecting you and your family. We coordinate our care with the care you’ll receive from your treatment team, which will continue to work to address the root causes of your condition and symptoms.
This care is an ongoing process, and we’ll be by your side throughout the treatment process. We can provide referrals to community resources, and we will support you as you make important decisions about your care.
