Palliative care
Palliative care offers relief from the symptoms and stress a of serious illness. It does not signal that you are giving up hope for recovery or a cure.
People often tell us palliative care helps them clearly share how they are feeling— physically and emotionally. These discussions with the palliative team result in fewer unplanned hospital visits, diminished symptoms and better quality of life. Care includes:
- Managing pain and complex symptoms
- Help with fatigue and sleep problems
- Medical support for shortness of breath
- Managing nausea, constipation or loss of appetite
- Reducing anxiety and depression
- Spiritual care and medical social services
- Support for families
Benefits includes goals of care conversations and advance care planning to provide a road map for future health care decisions.
