Palliative care offers relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness. It helps you enjoy the best quality of life possible by understanding and honoring your medical and emotional needs.

Palliative care does not signal you are giving up hope for recovery. Support can begin at any stage of an illness, with patients moving in and out of care as needed.

Care includes:

• Managing pain and other symptoms to your preferred level
• Help with fatigue and sleep problems
• Managing nausea, loss of appetite or constipation
• Reducing the side effects of medication
• Medical support for shortness of breath
• Reducing anxiety and depression
• Spiritual care and medical social services for the entire family
