Living Well with Ataxia - A Palliative Care Approach

Palliative care is a medical specialty that focuses on matching the values and goals of the patient to the treatment plan. It seeks to address all forms of suffering (physical, psychological, spiritual, practical) with the use of an interdisciplinary team and tries to facilitate having more good days than bad. This approach can be especially helpful for patients and families living with Ataxia.

I am an SLP. In this webinar you recommended a Chaplain several times. How do I put my patient in contact with a Chaplain? I looked into the John's Hopkins Ataxia center where my patient is already receiving care. There is no chaplain listed on their team.
