The home care staff focuses on the immediate and long-term management of home bound patients presenting with a wide range of conditions, such as g-tubes, chest tubes, catheters, Iv's, and wound vacs. By providing home-based care, our clinicians aim to improve patient outcomes by preventing further complications, reducing the recurrence of hospital readmission, and enhancing the Medstar patient experience.
