Hospice of Hilo

Hospice of Hilo

Navigating a complex health system when diagnosed with a serious illness can be both terrifying and confusing for patients and the loved ones who care for them. To help alleviate the physical and emotional suffering of patients throughout East Hawaii, Hospice of Hilo launched the Hawaii Palliative Care Center in February of 2014. The team, consisting of Palliative Care Specialist Dr. Frances Spector, Care Coordinator Julie Kai and Nurse Practitioner Joanne Potts, supports patients to provide relief from the pain, symptoms, stress, and confusion of living with a serious illness. Patients are able to access this program at any stage of a serious illness and can receive support alongside curative treatment. To date, the team has provided assessments, guidance and support to patients and their loved ones in over 160 patient visits in a hospital setting and at the clinic. A previous patient described the care as, “Like receiving a glass of cold water after walking across the desert.” By offering this extra layer of support, patients can experience improved quality of life as they seek out care that aligns with their wishes.
