Serious illness calls for a carefully orchestrated multispecialty approach to care at every phase. Our palliative care services ensure that our patients and their families receive coordinated management of symptoms, treatment side effects, pain and emotional support needs in the face of complex illness. This choreographed, proactive symptom management enhances quality of life for our palliative care patients.
While similar in approach to hospice care, palliative care offers patients and families holistic support at any stage of a complex illness and unlike hospice care, palliative care may be administered along with curative treatments.
