Physician Services

Our physicians actively participate in admissions and eligibility decisions with our patients.

What are Physician Services?

We keep our patient’s Primary Care Physician (PCP) as the director of care. Our staff makes sure the patient’s PCP is informed of all of their wants and needs. Our hospice team also consists of a Medical Director who oversees all clinical aspects of hospice care and provides medical education to community and facility staff. They actively participate in admission, eligibility and recertification decisions and actively participate in home visits to hospice patients. The Grane Medical Director provides overall direction for the hospice staff.
