Get to know Hospice and Palliative Care Specialist Dr. Elise C. Carey, who serves patients in Rochester, Minnesota.
A prominent hospice and palliative care specialist, Dr. Carey is affiliated with Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Her areas of clinical interest include communicating with seriously ill and dying patients and their families, and prognosis and care of frail elders.
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota is the original and largest Mayo Clinic campus. Located in the heart of Rochester, Minnesota — a dynamic city just 90 minutes south of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul — Mayo Clinic has been safely caring for patients from around the world for more than 100 years.
Graduating magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Williams College with a major in Psychology, Dr. Carey attended Dartmouth Medical School and Brown University School of Medicine for her medical education. She then went on to complete her residency in internal medicine and fellowship in geriatrics at the University of California, San Francisco.

Passionate about her profession, the doctor is board-certified in hospice & palliative medicine, geriatric medicine, and internal medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world.
Achieving fellowship status, she is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians (FACP), and a Fellow of the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (FAAHPM).
Hospice and palliative medicine is a formal subspecialty of medicine in the United States that focuses on symptom management, relief of suffering, and end-of-life care. Hospice and palliative medicine specialists are medical doctors who help prevent and relieve suffering of patients who have a serious illness or who have only a short time left to live. They work with a team of other professionals to address the needs of both the patient and loved ones.
Among her various accolades, Dr. Carey has been the recipient of the 2022 Hospice and Palliative Care Top Doctor Award, and 2019 Distinguished Educator Award by the Department of Medicine, Mayo Clinic.
