Our medical directors
Our medical directors have direct patient contact in every one of our care settings. They serve as liaisons between Pathways Hospice and patients' primary care physicians to ensure the continuity and quality of care. In some cases they consult for patients, families and attending physicians; in others they serve as patients' primary physician.
