Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital is pleased to welcome Phuc Vo, D.O., a palliative care specialist, to the medical staff.
Vo joins Channon Hudgins, M.D., and Asha Wurdeman, M.D., as hospital palliative care specialists at Houston Methodist Sugar Land.
Palliative care specialists work with patients to help relieve the pain, discomfort, and stress of serious, chronic illnesses. They also serve as liaisons between medical specialists and family members – explaining difficult concepts, answering questions, and listening to concerns.
Vo is board certified in emergency medicine and has extensive experience in emergency care, including a stint as a flight physician for the air medical transport system serving in Ohio.
He earned his medical degree from Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences in Missouri and completed his residency in emergency medicine at Case Western Reserve University, MetroHealth Medical Center, Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland.
Most recently, Vo completed a fellowship in hospice and palliative care at Nathan Adelson Hospice/Touro University in Las Vegas, Nev.
