About the Role
Provide compassionate, clinical psychosocial care that helps patients and families navigate the emotional, social, and practical challenges of end-of-life illness.

You’ll complete comprehensive psychosocial assessments, provide crisis intervention and counseling, and support advance care planning conversations that help families make informed, values-based decisions.
