In collaboration with other physicians on your healthcare team, our board-certified physicians and palliative-trained nurse practitioners provide consultations in senior living communities, assisted living facilities, outpatient offices, select hospitals, or via telehealth. A patient who is deemed medically homebound and cannot come to the office setting can be seen in their home.
Your generous support will ensure the sustaining advancement of the important work of The Mary Ann Boccolini Institute for Education, Research & Innovation and help increase access to life-enhancing care.
Developed to address issues of social isolation and loneliness, our Social Connections programs encourage meaningful conversations, shared moments, and a sense of purpose.
