1.       The Faculty Practice Associates Anesthesiology Pain Management Division provides coverage at all times.  As of November 2007, the service established a 20 minute benchmark from the time that a page is received until a practitioner arrives at the patient’s bedside (pager 2738).

2.       The FPA Palliative Care Consultative Team provides services for patients with pain who can benefit from the comprehensive interdisciplinary approach to medical management of co-morbidities.  Their team of MDs, NPs,  social workers, massage therapists and chaplain is available for consultation on weekdays (pager 9399).  At all other times, Palliative Care can be contacted for support by pager (917-632-6096).
