We have had a clinic component for many years , it evolved from our cancer pain clinc. We find it serves as a lifeline to those patients we meet as inpt's but also prevents ER visits regularly. We started as an every other week 1/2 day clinic,presently a weekly full day clinic, looking to expand due to volume. Please let me know if you have any specific questions, good luck, Pat
