Even Before Hospice, There's Gilchrist - Elder Medical Care at GBMC HealthCare
October 2, 2018Gilchrist is known for its compassionate care at the end of life. But they offer so much more than hospice. When older patients need more help than an advanced primary care office can provide, GBMC Health Partners seamlessly connects them to Gilchrist Elder Medical Care. A coordinated team offers medical care and support at every stage of serious illness to help older adults maintain the best quality of life. When faced with illness, it can be a relief to have someone to talk to about the big picture and get guidance on what's to come. Support is always just a phone call away. A team is there for all the needs that come with a serious illness; providing integrated medical care and guidance, help connecting to community resources and even volunteers to lend a hand.
For those who have trouble leaving the house to get to doctors' appointments, we can bring primary care and support whenever and wherever it's needed.
We can provide a geriatric specialist to perform comprehensive health assessments and coordinate care for people with multiple chronic illnesses. People with serious illnesses need help long before the end of life is near.
Even before hospice, there's Gilchrist.
