JourneyCare takes pride in its decades of experience as a leader in educating the hospice and palliative care leaders of tomorrow. We partner with local educational institutions to help learners gain hands-on experience in palliative, supportive and end-of-life care. Experiences may be clinical or non-clinical and include such specialties as medicine, nursing, grief counseling, social work and pediatrics, as well as integrative therapies such as music therapy and music thanatology.
These academic programs also benefit JourneyCare patients and those closest to them by keeping our care teams up to date in the best evidence-based, outcome-driven medicine. This expertise helps us provide comprehensive, high-quality care through collaboration, mutual respect and honoring the needs and wishes of those entrusted to our care. This ultimately fulfills our mission to create exceptional experiences for our patients and those who love them.
