Overview

Please note, patients are not seen at this location; they are seen in their homes.

Palliative care services aim to improve quality of life by relieving the symptoms associated with serious illness. It can begin at any stage of a life-altering illness to help people:

  • Live with illness
  • Manage the effects of aggressive, curative treatment
  • Find ways to handle day-to-day challenges

Palliative care can help shift the medical approach from crisis intervention to crisis prevention; for example, good symptom management may help avoid an unwanted hospitalization.

Palliative care also aims to provide support for patients and their loved ones as they face the uncertainty that comes with serious illness. Whether it's questions about treatment choices or advance care planning, we partner with patients and their families to navigate their care.
