Palliative care provides relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness. It is an extra layer of support that tailors care to your immediate medical and emotion needs and plans care around what matters most to you.

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 priorities
• Clear conversations about treatment options
• 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
