What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is specialized medical care that focuses on relieving the symptoms and stress of serious illness. The goal is simple: to improve quality of life for you and your family.

This care is provided by a team of experts—palliative care doctors, nurses, and social workers—who work alongside your existing doctors to add an extra layer of support. Palliative care is appropriate at any age and any stage of illness and can be offered while you continue receiving treatments like chemotherapy, dialysis, radiation, or surgery.
