A Place For Hope: Chapter 6
In Chapter 6, Dr. Edgar Staren, Senior Vice President for Clinical Affairs and Chief Medical Officer, begins by describing the CTCA integrative model of care. He describes how a multidisciplinary team of clinicians meets together several times a week to discuss patient care. "Getting that team together provides opportunities for therapies that otherwise would not have been addressed in a standard model," he says.
In addition, Carolyn Lammersfeld, National Director of Nutrition, explains how CTCA nutritionists are involved in each patient’s care from day one. Dr. Staren talks about the importance of addressing issues like malnutrition so patients can better tolerate their traditional therapies.
The segment closes with Rev. Percy McCray, Director of Pastoral Care, describing how the pastoral care team cares about patients and strives to connect with them on a human level.
