Palliative Care
Palliative Care is an area of medicine aimed at alleviating the physical, psychological, and social implications of a life-threatening disease. Palliative care can begin at the time of diagnosis of a chronic illness, and continues to provide the necessary support as the disease progresses.
The Palliative Care team is a compassionate group of physicians, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, dieticians, and spiritual care professionals who address the special needs of patients and families who are faced with a life-threatening or life-limiting illness.
