Journey Palliative and Hospice has built a multilingual, multicultural care team to assure that the vast needs of our diverse community are met. Our multidisciplinary team consists of professionals who are available 24/7. Learn more about the team members who will be supporting your loved one and family below.
Personal Physician To ensure your loved one receives the most consistent, personal, dedicated care, we assign a personal physician. We match each patient with the physician whose experience with their condition will bring the greatest benefits to your loved one.
Medical Director Our medical director supports our entire team, taking an active role in pain management and treatment plans, and ensures that team members can coordinate with each other to provide the most effective and compassionate care.
Registered Nurses Your loved one’s registered nurse does much of the hands-on work of checking vitals and administering medications and treatments. The registered nurse also updates records and keeps your loved one’s team apprised of their condition and needs.
Social Worker This member of the team provides counselling services to patients and family members, while also helping the patient to advocate for their wishes and exercise their agency.
Chaplain / Spiritual Care While your loved one’s physician and nurse see to the needs of the body, the chaplain sees to your loved one’s spiritual well-being. We make it our mission to provide spiritual support to patients of every faith.
Certified Nursing Assistant The certified nursing assistant provides hands-on support like bathing, grooming, basic housekeeping, and more.
Bereavement Counselor Our bereavement counselor is here to support family and friends of the patient during this challenging time. We offer individual counseling, support groups and a range of community resources to help you process your grief before and after your loved one passes.
