Patient & Family Counseling
At Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies, we are committed to caring for all aspects of our patients’ health and wellbeing. Life doesn’t always go according to plan. Sometimes, disappointments or complications occur that make coping difficult.
The Arnold Palmer Medical Center Patient and Family Counseling team is here to help. Our licensed counselors are skilled in addressing a variety of questions, concerns and needs that patients and their families may have throughout a patient’s course of care.
