Palliative Care
Palliative care helps people with serious illness feel better; physically, emotionally and spiritually. It is an extra layer of support for patients and their families.
Care begins with clear conversations about your immediate needs and priorities moving forward. Palliative care is appropriate at any stage of illness, with patients moving in and out of care as needed.
Support includes:
- Managing pain and other complex symptoms
- Ensuring your goals and values are respected by care providers
- Managing nausea or loss of appetite
- Medical support for shortness of breath
- Reducing anxiety, fatigue or sleep problems
- Spiritual care and medical social services
Each day, hospice volunteers touch the lives of our patients and their families. Whether reading to a patient, preparing a meal for a family or cleaning up around the house, each gesture makes a meaningful impact on those we serve.
