Palliative care is a specialized approach to medical care that focuses on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both patient and family. Palliative care is applicable at any stage of an illness, not just in end-of-life situations, and it addresses physical, emotional, and social needs. The emphasis is on managing symptoms (eg, pain, nausea, fatigue, etc.) and supporting the individual's overall well-being, ensuring they have the best possible quality of life throughout their illness journey.

Concierge medicine is a healthcare model in which patients pay a fixed fee in exchange for exclusive and personalized medical services. Patients benefit from extended visit times, same- or next-day appointments, and direct communication channels with their physicians. This approach aims to provide a more intimate and tailored healthcare experience resulting in enhanced convenience, stronger doctor-patient relationships, and more personalized care.

As with many concierge medical services, Harmony Palliative does not accept insurance. By avoiding the bureaucratic hurdles of insurance, we are able to offer our patients valuable amenities such as expedited access, extended appointment times, and a more comprehensive array of services that enhance the care experience for patient and loved one alike. In eliminating the constraints and administrative processes associated with insurance billing, our patients likewise benefit from greater flexibility in treatment decisions. We believe that the concierge model enables us to prioritize the needs of our patients rather their insurance companies.

We believe that good communication between medical providers is essential to high quality care. To that end, our team will coordinate closely with your primary care providers and other members of your medical team to ensure care that is as seamless as possible.

As often as you would like. Some patients appreciate a weekly check-in while others prefer 3-6 month intervals between visits. We strive to accommodate your needs, whatever they may be.

Yes. We offer visits by phone, video, or in person at your home.

Of course! Friends and family members are very much welcome at our visits. Indeed, having loved ones present can often facilitate open communication, shared decision-making, and a more holistic understanding of our patients' needs. While the presence of friends & family can contribute to a more comprehensive and compassionate palliative care experience, it is ultimately up to the patient to decide whom, if anyone, to include in their visits.
