Palliative Care is specialized care focused on patients facing life-threatening or life-limiting illness or injury. The primary goal of palliative care is to provide expertise and treatment plans for symptom management, identifying the patients’ goals for their care, and providing emotional and spiritual support while considering the whole patient and their personal situation. It is not just for the patient who is at the end of life. The Advanced Care Group provides:
- Relief from pain and other physical symptoms
- Improving quality of life
- Support to the seriously ill and their family and caregivers
- Assistance to the patient and their family with difficult medical decision-making
