I am an experienced integrative palliative medicine physician and medical educator. I provide inpatient and outpatient integrative palliative care and integrative oncology at Greater Baltimore Medical Center.
Prior to starting at GBMC, I was the Associate Director and Director of Education for the University of Maryland School of Medicine’s Center for Integrative Medicine and the former Division Chief of Integrative Palliative Medicine at Greater Baltimore Medical Center/Gilchrist.
I have extensive experience in medical education and program development. I teach on the topics of integrative medicine, palliative care, and healthcare provider wellness at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and Graduate School. I am the Founder of the Integrative Palliative Institute and host of The Integrative Palliative Podcast.
As a thought leader in the field of integrative palliative medicine, I specialize in whole-person care for families facing serious illness, using all the tools that work.
As a person who has been a caregiver, I understand, from the inside, the fear, stress, and overwhelm that people face when someone they love is unwell.
Visits with me will be covered by insurance. We are putting together an army of volunteers to provide some services free of charge. Others, such as massage and acupuncture, will have a cost associated with them – but only enough to sustain the program. We are a non-profit institution that is highly mission-based.
I have been voted a “Top Doctor” by my peers and won awards for teaching excellence. As a sought-after lecturer, I have been invited to teach at organizations such as Johns Hopkins Hospital, the University of San Francisco Medical School, the University of Maryland Graduate School, and School of Pharmacy and The American College of Rheumatology. I have published chapters in the textbooks Practical Management of Pain and Families in the Intensive Care Unit and serve as an Executive Editor for McGraw Hill Education. I am an adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore.
I am available for speaking engagements and media interviews. To schedule an interview or speaking engagement, visit www.DrChiaramonte.com.

I “fill my cup” by drinking coffee with my grown daughters, reading, going for walks with friends, and creating multi-media art. I live in Maryland with my husband and her brand-new rescue dog, Sadie.
