Partnering with Hospice
If you’re a medical practitioner, Hospice and Palliative Care of Chenango County means you get a good consulting partner for your patient.
We can help you whether you practice in Norwich, Oneonta, Syracuse, Binghamton or wherever – just as long as your patient lives in Chenango County.
Our medical director, Dr. Ken Werner, attended the City College of New York and The Sackler School of Medicine of Tel Aviv University. He has been practicing since 1984, and involved with Hospice work since 1988.
Werner is board-certified in both family medicine and Hospice and Palliative Care. He is available for formal or informal consultations. Whether you as the attending physician need advice over the phone or hands-on patient care, Werner can help. In-home patient visits are readily available, as is pain and other symptoms management
