Welcome to our Healthcare Professionals area. This section of our website has been designed as a resource for those we work with to coordinate care for our patients and families. Southern Tier Hospice and Palliative Care. works closely with the many different providers in our area. We deeply value the trust the providers show us each time they call in a referral or send us an order. Together we bring the best care to patients and their families. This section is dedicated to providing a better understanding of the practitioner’s role when they have a patient on Hospice and of palliative and hospice care in general. Opportunities for further professional development in palliative and hospice care are also outlined.
