Facts about Our Physicians
August 2009
- Every Midwest CareCenter hospice
patient is assigned to a
care team that includes a
physician—a hospice medical
director—and receives visits
from that physician when
medically necessary.
- Our clinical staff includes
12 physicians. Many have been
with us for a number of years.
For example, Martha Twaddle,
MD, chief medical officer,
has been on staff for nearly
20 years and is a nationally
recognized leader in hospice
and palliative care.
- All Midwest CareCenter physicians
are board certified, and 92%
are certified in hospice and
palliative medicine. Additional
board certifications include
geriatrics, internal and family
medicine.
- Each of our physicians is
affiliated with one or more
local hospital systems,
including: Lake Forest Hospital,
NorthShore University
HealthSystem, Rush University
Medical Center, St. Francis
Hospital of Evanston, Swedish
Covenant Hospital and Weiss
Memorial Hospital.
- Our physicians serve as faculty
members for our collaborative
fellowship program, the
Midwest Hospice and Palliative
Medicine Integrated Fellowship.
