Anyone can request a palliative care consult, however only the patient’s attending physician can initiate a palliative care consultation by writing an order for it. Palliative care consults can be provided in the home, hospital, nursing home, and assisted living facilities. For more information about palliative care at St. John Health, call Rhonda Bishop at (313) 343-4476.
