Patient Services

The Visiting Doctors Program provides personalized, home-based primary and end-of life care to men and women with complex and serious illnesses. We coordinate care with a range of health professionals in the hospital and home setting, working closely with home care, visiting nurse, community, and hospice agencies. We are available by phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and our health care providers will respond to requests for emergency visits.

The home-based services we provide include:

• Preventive health care
• Diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions
• Prescription of medications, with an emphasis on safety and affordability
• Support to family members and other caregivers
• Referrals for rehabilitation
• Assistance with practical needs, including wheelchairs
• Pain management
• Comprehensive, patient-centered end-of-life care for the terminally ill
