Palliative Care

Palliative Care

Palliative Care is a formalized system of compassionate care focusing on providing the best possible quality of life for patients and families facing a serious illness. The patient's and family's physical, emotional and spiritual needs are considered with emphasis on maintaining dignity and improving quality of life. Palliative care can be provided along with aggressive, curative medical care.

Palliative Care can be helpful to anyone involved with a serious illness. We work with your doctor to help you collect the information needed to make choices about medical care. We work with the local skilled nursing facilities and home care to ensure proper care following discharge from the hospital.
