Hospice Clinical Navigation
Hospice Clinical Navigators are Registered Nurses who help clients, and their caregivers, find their way through the health care system from diagnosis of a life limiting illness to bereavement. While other members of your care team will come and go throughout your illness, the Navigator is able to stay with you for your entire journey to ensure the best experience and quality of life possible.
