What is Palliative Care?
Palliative care is an extra layer of relief from the pain, symptoms and stress of a serious illness. It focuses on improving quality of life for patients and their families. Care includes help navigating the medical system to ensure care aligns with your goals, values and priorities.
Starting palliative care does not signal that someone is giving up hope for recovery. Support can begin at any stage of illness, with people moving in and out of care as needed.
