Our services
Guidance & Education
We know that majority of questions arise after a visit with your provider. We also know confusion can affect the success of a treatment plan. Our nurse practitioners are skilled at explaining chronic illness, evaluating and treating symptoms. We work along side your primary care and specialists and help optimize your symptoms. We want you to feel as well as you can.
Advanced Care Planning
An advanced directive is one of the most important documents you can give to family and healthcare providers. Our priorities and healthcare goals will and can change, especially in the face of chronic or terminal illness. The majority of advanced care planning takes place in the hospital which is not appropriate. It should be done when you are feeling well or have time to think and discuss with your loved ones. As a palliative care nurse practitioner, it is not our job to tell you what is best. It is our job to listen and establish what your healthcare wishes are. We can help educate you on the risk and benefits of certain interventions, but your advance directive should reflect your beliefs and wishes.
Medication Review
Medication management can be confusing. How many times have you reviewed your medication list after a recent hospitalization and were more confused. Let us review your records, help instruct you on what medications you need to take and help coordinate your care.
Emotional & Spiritual Support
How supported you feel makes or breaks your healthcare experience. We want to support you and your family. We are your advocates and partners in your health journey. The beauty of practicing palliative care is it focuses on the emotional and spiritual aspects of a person’s well-being. Chronic symptoms related to the disease can be cumbersome. It can lead to more questions than answers. Let’s work through these distressing topics and focus on the mind-body-spirit connection.
“I underestimated how hard it would be to manage my mom’s lung cancer, but with Jackie’s help, I understood what to expect with treatment and the disease itself.”
