Distance presents a challenge as family members work to gain information about their loved ones and participate in their cancer care. But it’s also challenging to the local caregivers—nurses, doctors and local family members—who must adapt short-term to these remote caregivers’ special needs. In hospitals across the country, such challenges have prompted distance caregivers to be labeled “seagulls” and “pigeons”—references to family members who fly in, make a mess and fly out.
