Clinical Team

No one person can provide for all the needs of hospice patients and their families. Hospice care at Calvert Hospice is provided by a team of people with different specialties who work together to provide comprehensive and responsive care that benefits both patients and families. The team consists of the following people:

Nurses

Registered Nurses provide care to patients in their homes and at the Burnett Calvert Hospice House. Nurses provide physical care and keep the doctor informed and updated regarding patients’ conditions. They also teach families how to care for patients.
