Our goal with working with Physicians and other healthcare providers, is to provide increased value by assisting them with their intensive workloads. In other words, to make life easier for assisting with patients.

Working with referring medical providers in the community, Valor HospiceCare & The Valor Institute for Palliative Medicine has developed a program to provide additional services to educate, support and assist with their clinical programs. Many services are offered to assist with the medical community's efforts for increasing awareness and education for end-of-life services.

In coordination with our Valor PalliativeCare program, working with Primary Physicians and Nurse Practitioners for hospice patients in our program, our Medical Directors are available for palliative care evaluations for hospice eligibility and consultations for pain control and symptom management.
