As a Palliative Care Provider, you will:

Provide comprehensive palliative care to patients in their homes, focusing on pain and symptom management, improving quality of life, and offering emotional and spiritual support.

Perform in-depth assessments of patients with serious or life-limiting conditions, develop personalized care plans, and manage their medical needs.

Work closely with patients and their families to establish goals of care and ensure treatment aligns with their wishes, emphasizing patient autonomy and dignity.

Work in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team (nurses, social workers, and other healthcare professionals) to ensure a holistic approach to patient care.

Participate in a shared on-call rotation, as directed by the Senior Medical Director.

Travel locally throughout Monmouth, Mercer, Middlesex, and Somerset Counties to provide in-home patient care visits.
