Palliative Care

Providing relief from symptoms and stress.

Palliative care is a specialized field of medicine focused on helping people living with a serious illness. This type of care provides relief from symptoms and stress related to an illness or disease.

Our team of palliative care providers work together with a patient’s care network to provide support to improve overall health and wellness. This type of in-patient care is based on the needs of the patient, not on the prognosis. We provide care for patients of any stage, and at any stage of a serious illness. We also provide care along with additional methods of curative treatment.

The benefits of a palliative care provider include:

  • Education for the patient and their family to better understand treatment plans
  • Improved quality of life
  • Emotional support for the patient, and their family
  • Better control of pain and symptoms related to illness
  • Reduces unnecessary and costly hospital visits
