Palliative Care
Why Palliative Care?
Palliative care improves the quality of life for both you and your family.
This medical specialty provides symptom relief from the complications caused by serious illnesses. It also helps you or your loved ones manage the emotional stress involved. The ultimate goal of palliative medicine is to provide support and quality care for both you and your family.
Our palliative care team includes healthcare professionals, palliative care providers, nurses and social workers. They work with the patient’s doctors to provide a continuous system of support.
Remember: Not only can palliative care be provided at any age or any stage in the illness, but you can also seek curative treatment while receiving palliative care.
Your Loved One Can Qualify For Palliative Care
Who qualifies for palliative care? You only need to have a serious, chronic illness that is not considered life-threatening at the time.
You may have heard of palliative care for cancer patients, but did you realize that several chronic illnesses qualify for palliative care? This includes diseases such as:
- Heart disease
- COPD
- Kidney disease
- Parkinson’s disease
- ALS
