Palliative care consists of symptom treatment, emotional support and spiritual support, which help ease the physical and emotional pain and suffering caused by a serious illness.



Dr. Paonessa’s Story – Suncoast Hospice is a Trusted Healthcare Partner

Dr. Jeffrey Paonessa’s standard for patient care is driven by quality, expertise and compassion. He shares that same standard with Suncoast Hospice, a partner he has entrusted for years to provide hospice and palliative care to his patients.
 
“I’ve been referring my patients to Suncoast Hospice for the last 19 years. It’s been a great relationship,” said Dr. Paonessa, who is board–certified in medical oncology and internal medicine.
 
“Suncoast Hospice does a phenomenal job in providing the entire continuum of care. When we refer to Suncoast Hospice almost always do our patients come back very satisfied from their first visits. They wonder why they didn’t access Suncoast Hospice sooner,” he said.
 
Dr. Paonessa relies on Suncoast Hospice’s expertise in pain and symptoms management along with its mission to meet the needs and wishes of patients and families.
 
“Suncoast Hospice puts the patient and family first and that’s critical in our business. They provide whatever is necessary to achieve the best possible care for patients. They go above and beyond. There seems to be nothing that Suncoast Hospice won’t do for patients.”
