Palliative Care
Palliative care is a specialty that focuses on improving the quality of life of individuals facing serious illness through medical management and emotional support. Any individual who suffers an illness that is likely to limit life expectancy can benefit from palliative care.
Palliative care consultations provide a team approach to advance health care planning and counsel on symptom management.
Palliative care is a not a hospice program, nor is it a program for the terminally ill.
