Guided by the philosophy “Be near, be around, be with,” KOON is designed to be more than a hospital it is a place where patients receive close medical attention, emotional support, and meaningful care throughout their treatment journey.

 

KOON provides specialized palliative care for patients in the final stages of life or those living with serious illnesses that affect quality of life. Care is delivered by a multidisciplinary team of experienced doctors, nurses, patient advocates, occupational therapists, physical therapists, psychotherapists, and other healthcare professionals.
