“I am sensitive to the various geriatric needs through my experience and caring for my 90 year old mother.”
Medical Director, Dr. Cory Krueger
I completed my residency in Internal Medicine at Albert Einstein in Philadelphia in 1985. I am board certified in both Internal and Geriatric Medicine. My practice has always consisted of many elderly patients, many of them with chronic debilitating diseases. I realized some time ago that the concept of Hospice was a natural extension of the philosophy of practice that I have tried to follow in my career. It is the believe that if I am your physician, there will always be a focus on providing support and comfort, regardless of your burden of illness or life expectancy.
Physician Assistant, Candace Oen
I am honored to work in hospice care. It is a privilege to care for people at the end of their life. I work as a Physician Assistant. A PA is an extension of the doctor. We perform exams, diagnose, treat, and prescribe medications. I graduated from Arizona State University in 1994 and completed PA school at Midwestern University in Illinois in 1997. I am board certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants.
