Palliative Care
Palliative medicine focuses on the care of patients and families who are
affected by serious illness. Our palliative care team helps with the symptoms
of life-limiting illness and the side effects of treatment during your
ongoing care. We offer a support system to help patients live as actively
as possible and provide ongoing care guided by the patient's defined
quality of life.
Symptoms that may be improved by palliative care include:
- Anorexia
- Anxiety or nervousness
- Constipation
- Depression or sadness
- Difficulty breathing
- Fatigue
- Nausea or vomiting
- Pain
- Trouble sleeping
