Nursing care is an important part of our overall health-care system. We recognize that you may need specialized care in certain situations, where specially selected and trained nurses can make a meaningful difference to your recovery and well-being.
We provide specialized nursing services to address specific patient needs and conditions:
Rapid Response Nurses
Rapid Response Nurses support adults and children with high care needs as they transition home from hospital. Services may include: a home visit within 24 hours of discharge from the hospital; medication review; comprehensive nursing assessment; patient and family education; and ensuring appropriate follow-up appointments are scheduled.

Community Palliative Care Nurse Practitioners
Community Palliative Care Nurse Practitioners act as a bridge to connect, support and care for patients who have a life-limiting illness. Our nurses help people and families understand their options, and provide support so that as a patient reaches closer to the end of their life, they are able to live their remaining days comfortably at home for as long as possible.
