Palliative Care The Moncton Hospital's Palliative Care Unit (3600), one component of Family Practice, strives to offer compassionate and individual care while providing physical, social, emotional, practical and spiritual support. The Palliative Care team was developed in 1991 under the direction of Dr. Patrick Phelan and the unit is located on the third floor of the hospital. The central premise for Palliative Care is to provide comfort and dignity for the person living with advanced illnesses, such as cancer, heart or respiratory diseases, and the best quality of life for the patient and his or her family. Palliative Care involves specialized care to minimize pain and other symptoms through a multidisciplinary team approach that includes nurses, physicians, pharmacists, social workers, psychologists, spiritual counsellors/chaplain, volunteers and other professionals as needed, such as therapists. In 2004, The Moncton Hospital's palliative care nurses received the CNA Certification in Palliative Care by the Canadian Nurses Association. Mission The Family Practice and Geriatrics program is committed to achieving excellence in providing interdisciplinary care, comfort for patients and families with acute, chronic and rehabilitation and palliative care needs, emphasizing health promotion and patient advocacy in partnership with the patient, family and community.
