To help you live well—physically, emotionally, and spiritually
Palliative care focuses on improving a person’s quality of life throughout the course of a serious illness or after a life-changing injury. Patients often receive palliative care along with other medical treatments.
Palliative care is a relatively new medical specialty that we recommend for patients to help achieve the highest quality of life. We work with all your doctors and providers to coordinate the best care.
Our palliative care team offers you the best health care professionals to help you manage your symptoms. The staff you may see include:
- APRNs
- Care managers
- Chaplains
- Dietitians
- Doctors
- Nurses
- Pharmacists
- Therapists
Together, our team of professionals offers advice, specialized care, and long-term planning for you and your family.
Outpatient visits
Outpatient visits are offered in the clinic either before or after discharge from the hospital.
Services and resources
We address you as a whole person: your physical comfort, confidence, emotional well-being, spirituality, and dignity. Since your family is also involved in your illness, our palliative care team also supports them and helps them feel informed.
Our palliative care services and resources include:
