CURATED RESOURCES
Physician Friend of Family (PFOF)
This network of retired physicians is available to answer questions you and your family have regarding issues arising out of a medical crisis or ongoing medical /social concerns associated with end-of-life care. Sometimes complex medical care involves multiple physicians, hospitals, care facilities with lots of decisions to be made among competing choices. Having someone available to review the whole picture and then to provide you an additional perspective on care options can provide support when you need it. Our experience shows our physicians help validate the choices you are making or help you identify other options that may work better for you. Sometimes, it’s just nice to have a neutral expert at your side to mediate conflicting options presented by family members.
