Message from Leadership
Welcome to the Valley Health System – Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship Program.
Palliative medicine is rooted in one of the most meaningful responsibilities in healthcare: caring for patients and families through serious illness with compassion, dignity, and humanity. At Valley, we are committed to delivering patient- and family-centered care that supports the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of every individual we serve.
Our interdisciplinary team of physicians, advanced practice clinicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, pharmacists, and hospice professionals works collaboratively to provide comprehensive, evidence-based care across inpatient, outpatient, and hospice settings. Together, they have built a culture defined by excellence, trust, teamwork, and deep compassion for patients and one another.
We are proud to extend that culture into our Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship Program. Fellows will train in a wide range of clinical environments, including our state-of-the-art inpatient facilities, the Valley-Mount Sinai Comprehensive Cancer Center, and community hospice settings where compassionate care is often needed most.
As a fellow at Valley, you will receive rigorous clinical training in symptom management, serious illness communication, end-of-life care, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Equally important, you will train in an environment that values mentorship, professional growth, scholarly engagement, and physician well-being. Through our affiliation with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, fellows benefit from the strength of an academically grounded program while remaining part of the close-knit culture that defines Valley.
What makes this fellowship particularly special is the opportunity to help shape its future. As a founding fellow, your contributions will leave a lasting impact on the culture, identity, and growth of this program for years to come. Your voice, leadership, and dedication will help define the next generation of palliative medicine training at Valley.
Thank you for considering our program and for choosing a field devoted to compassionate, purposeful care. We are honored to share this journey with you and look forward to welcoming you into the Valley family.
