Palliative care, also known as palliative medicine, 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 you and your loved ones as you face the uncertainty that comes with serious illness. Whether it's questions about your treatment choices or advance care planning, we’ll work with you and your family to navigate your care.
