Palliative Care is a medical specialty that treats anyone living with a life-limiting condition that wishes to continue to seek treatment and/or a cure but who also wants to maintain a satisfying quality of life and manage their symptoms.
What is Palliative Care?
Palliative Care is a medical specialty that treats anyone living with a life-threatening serious illness and works to improve the quality of life for the patient - and the patient’s family - at any stage in the disease process. Both inpatient and outpatient care are provided by a team of doctors, nurses, and other specialists such as social workers, counselors, and pastoral care. These providers work together with a patient’s other doctors to provide an extra layer of support. Palliative Care uses a variety of medications and techniques to help patients whether they choose to pursue aggressive care or otherwise.
