 Bishop
Wicke Health Center at Wesley Village offers specialized care for people
who are in the final months of life. Our goal is to make this stage of
life as comfortable and fulfilling as possible.
Our focus is on caring, not curing. We seek to manage pain and symptoms,
support each patient’s choices, and facilitate relationships with
family and friends.
Palliative Rehabilitation
The goal of our palliative rehabilitation program is to maximize the
ability of each patient to do things that are important to him or her.
Using hands-on therapy techniques and targeted exercise, our rehabilitation
program emphasizes treatments that enhance each patient’s independence
and dignity.
We accept private insurance, Medicare and self-pay patients.
