Phillip Gallinaro

Administrator

My career thus far can be defined as one that serves others with an open heart and open mind. I have worked in various positions over the years in the senior industry, mental health field, and United States military. Here at United Hospice, I have had the privilege of functioning in various roles, such as that of a Social Worker, Clinical Liaison, and Outreach Coordinator. Each position offered me exposure to the intricacies involved in providing exceptional quality care at every level. With a background in mental health, I have tailored my education and training to the aging process and grief to better understand the population we serve. I am honored now to serve as the Administrator at United Hospice and look forward to continuing my journey of helping others. We welcome you to our team, where we treat your family as ours!

Brooke O’Shaughnessy

Clinical Director

I feel honored and blessed to be a hospice nurse. I found my calling a few years ago, and hospice has been my heart ever since. I love being able to meet my patient at their comfort level and walk them through some their hardest moments. The most rewarding part of my career is being able to help my patients transition with dignity and respect. As the Clinical Director with United Hospice, I have the privilege of supporting my team to ensure the best outcomes for both patients and staff.

Richard Wolfson

Medical Director

Dr. Wolfson is from Tucson, AZ. He attended UCLA, then began his medical school journey at the University of AZ School of Medicine. He completed his residency at Banner University and Phoenix Veteran’s Administration Internal Medicine Program, which is his specialty. His enjoyment of photography, music, and swimming seem to be the perfect balance to offset his busy work schedule.

Dr. Wolfson chose to be a part of United Hospice and Palliative Care of Arizona because he believes in the integrative approach with the hospice team to address the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs of the patient and their family during their end-of-life journey. He finds it rewarding to help patients and their families deal with serious and challenging health issues during this very emotional time. He is an educator, working closely with the hospice team to reduce patient pain and suffering by offering evidence-based, patient-centered educational opportunities during their Interdisciplinary Group (IDG) meetings.

Dr. Wolfson strives to help patients maintain their dignity and grace during each phase of their illness, maximizing each patient’s ability to enjoy their family and friends.
