Palliative Care

Improving Your Quality of Life

Our Palliative Care services are dedicated to improving the quality of life for patients facing serious or chronic illnesses. We focus on pain and symptom management, providing tailored care to relieve discomfort such as pain, nausea, breathlessness, fatigue, or insomnia. Using a combination of medications and supportive strategies, we address even the most challenging symptoms to ensure that our patients find relief.

Advance care planning is a cornerstone of our approach, helping patients articulate their healthcare preferences through advance directives, living wills, and POLST or DNR forms. These discussions empower individuals to make informed decisions about their care, particularly during emergencies or when facing complex medical situations.

Our team also offers emotional and psychological support to patients and families, helping them navigate the challenges of serious illness. We provide spiritual care to address existential concerns, guiding patients and families as they explore meaning and purpose in difficult times. For those nearing the end of life, we collaborate with hospice services to ensure comfort, dignity, and peace.

Palliative care supports patients managing a variety of conditions, including cancer, advanced heart failure, COPD, emphysema, neurological disorders, and chronic pain syndromes such as neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia. We also assist individuals recovering from strokes, managing frailty in aging, or navigating multimorbidity and cognitive decline. Our comprehensive approach emphasizes compassionate, patient-centered care to provide support at every stage.
