About Our Location
Palliative care specialists focus on improving quality of life through services that manage and ease disease symptoms. Palliative care services complement or support ongoing standard medical treatments. This is a key distinction between palliative care and hospice care.
Hospice care takes place toward the end of life when a patient chooses to stop disease-directed therapies and instead focus on their quality of life.
Our palliative care specialists focus on improving quality of life through services that manage and ease disease symptoms. Palliative care services complement or support ongoing standard medical treatments.
You may benefit from palliative care if you have a serious, chronic illness, such as:
- Any type of cancer
- Heart, lung, liver or kidney disease
- Neurological disorders, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, stroke or Alzheimer’s disease
To request a consultation, please tell your doctor or nurse that you would like to meet with the Palliative Care team.
