Palliative care is specialized medical care for people living with serious illnesses. The goal of palliative care is to improve quality of life for both the patient and their family by providing relief from symptoms and addressing their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Unlike hospice care, palliative care can be provided at any stage of illness and can be given alongside curative treatments. We find that many of our clients first reach out to us when they qualify for palliative care.
