Patient Home Visits
Through the Patient Home Visits (formerly Texas Bus Rounds), medical providers visit homes, hospices and other care sites around Houston to learn about the challenges patients and their families face toward the end of life. Through this patient-centered approach, the Patient Home Visits help providers identify these challenges and discuss methods of care that can help each patient can live as well as possible, for as long as possible.
This program is for anyone who is interested in Palliative Care or hospice work. We welcome all students, researchers, health care professionals, those interested in exploring careers in Hospice or Palliative Care, and the general public to participate in this educational program.
