Joyce M. Reed, DO, received her Medical Director Certification for Hospice and Palliative Medicine. "Board certification for a physician in any specialty field indicates specific knowledge and competency within that area of expertise. I have been board certified in Family Practice for many years, but felt a calling to provide hospice services for patients with a terminal diagnosis. I feel as if the extra studying and research that I have done to get ready for Hospice Medical Director Certification boards has and will make me more confident in providing even better patient care. Nothing seems more important than comfort during the final months, weeks and days at the end of life. Hopefully, I can help provide patients and their families with that comfort during those difficult times." - Joyce M. Reed, DO
