care team
Medical support circle
A care team is a group of professionals who coordinate to provide healthcare or support services for a patient or client.
The term emphasizes collaboration across specialties—doctors, nurses, social workers, therapists—working together rather than in isolation: Your care team will meet weekly to discuss your treatment plan.
The concept extends beyond medical settings to include mental health, elder care, and social services.
