Palliative care
An added layer of support alongside the treatment you’re already receiving.
Palliative care brings relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness for patients who may not yet be hospice-appropriate. It works with your ongoing treatment plan, not instead of it, and it can begin at any stage of illness.
Who it’s for
Serious illness, at any stage.
Palliative care supports people living with cancer, heart failure, COPD, kidney or liver disease, advanced dementia, and other serious conditions, whether or not they are continuing curative treatment.
- Relief from pain, breathlessness, nausea, fatigue, and anxiety
- Help understanding the illness and treatment options
- Support for goals-of-care conversations and advance directives
- Coordination with your physicians and specialists
- Emotional, spiritual, and practical support for the family
- A smooth transition to hospice if and when that becomes the right choice
Palliative vs. hospice
Palliative care can begin at diagnosis and continue alongside curative treatment.
Hospice care is for patients with a limited life expectancy who choose to focus fully on comfort.
Both share the same goal: the best possible quality of life. Our team can help you understand which is right for your situation.
