What is palliative care?
Palliative care is not what you may think. It is NOT the same as hospice and it is not exclusively end-of-life care. Rather, palliative care is appropriate any time during disease progression and often is provided at the same time as curative treatment. You will be seeing patients with complex diseases and multiple chronic conditions. They, in turn, will benefit from your clinical skills and judgment and, most importantly, your compassion.
As part of a multispecialty clinical team, you will collaborate with primary care doctors, specialists, nurse practitioners and physician assistants, and social workers. You will coordinate care across treatment modalities. Your experience and unique perspective are valued at Aspire!
Whole-person health
We bring a holistic, whole-person approach to care, so you will think beyond the medical model to consider social determinants such as emotional health, nutrition and social factors. As an Aspire practitioner, you will take time to know and understand your patients. You will build a trusting relationship, thanks to small patient panels and appointments that are longer than average.
