For the Northern Neck community, the new Complex Care Center on the Riverside Tappahannock Hospital (RTH) campus, focuses on providing pain and symptom management for individuals whose functional status is impaired through a variety of specialized services.
To effectively coordinate care for each patient, we foster collaboration between the patient, caregivers, the primary care physician and specialists, and our expert team in geriatrics and palliative care, as well as community-based organizations. Our program includes a Nurse Navigator to ensure that care and transitions are efficiently coordinated.
Our dedicated team approach enables each patient to live with dignity and the best possible quality of life.
