Palliative Care

Palliative care is patient and family-centered care that optimizes quality of life by treating and preventing suffering. The primary goal of quality palliative care for seriously ill patients is to provide pain and symptom management through an interdisciplinary support system. Our patient-centered evaluation and treatments include palliative care conversations with the family and patient. 

Palliative Medicine Goals:

• Provide relief from pain and other distressing symptoms

• Affirm life and regard dying as a normal process

• Integrate psychological and spiritual aspects of patient care

• Enhance quality of life which may positively influence the course of illnesses and healing

• Offer supportive and wellness care to help families to cope
