Palliative Care
Palliative care is focused on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness. Our team works with a patient’s other doctors to provide an extra layer of support. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment. The goal of palliative care is to provide the best possible quality of life for both the patient and their family.
