Palliative Care

Palliative care is both a philosophy and a holistic approach to care that prioritizes comfort, dignity, and quality of life. It supports individuals and their families who are facing life-limiting illnesses by focusing on the prevention and relief of suffering through early identification, thorough assessment, and effective treatment of symptoms.

This care extends beyond physical needs, addressing psychological, social, and spiritual concerns, while also supporting each person’s unique expectations, hopes, needs, and fears.

What to Expect

When you or a loved one is referred to palliative care, here’s what you can expect:

A team-based approach: Care is provided by a multidisciplinary team that may include doctors, nurses, social workers, spiritual care providers, and other specialists.
Personalized care plans: The team works closely with you and your family to create a care plan that reflects your values, goals, and needs.
Regular assessments: Ongoing monitoring and adjustments ensure that symptoms are managed effectively and that your comfort is maintained.
Open communication: We encourage honest, compassionate conversations to help guide care decisions and ensure your wishes are respected.
