A Staff of Specialists

Family Support - a Crucial Component

Family support and education is provided at every opportunity. We recognize that a patient's "family" includes all individuals who, by birth or choice, make up the patient's support network. Our role is to involve the family by giving advice and encouraging open discussions about:

• Current health status
• Treatment options available and potential side effects
• Components of self-care and home environment
• Lifestyle adaptations that may be necessary
• Discharge planning and preparation
