Palliative Medicine Associates
Palliative Medicine Associates, located in Kingsport, Tenn., adjacent to Kingsport Hematology and Oncology, provides patients with comprehensive plans for palliative care.
Palliative care focuses on a patient's comfort and maximizing quality of life during an illness or at the end of life. Pain management is a key aspect of palliative care. But palliative care also includes controlling other physical problems and addressing a patient's emotional and spiritual needs. A typical palliative care plan involves the patient, his or her physician and a palliative care physician.
Palliative care may occur in conjunction with curative treatment efforts or alone, depending on a patient's wishes or the progression of a disease. And as a patient’s health status changes, Palliative Medicine Associates is committed to tailoring the palliative care plan to continue meeting each individual’s needs.
Because Palliative Medicine Associates is affiliated with Wellmont Health System, a wide variety of HMO, PPO and POS insurance plans are accepted, and patients of Dr. Steven Baumrucker have seamless access to the full scope of medical expertise offered at Holston Valley Medical Center and throughout Wellmont for related care or other specialties.
