Palliative Care Services

What is Palliative Care?

This type of care is for anyone living with a serious illness, at any stage. It can be provided alongside treatments that aim to cure or control disease, while focusing on managing symptoms and enhancing quality of life.

It is provided by a team of doctors, nurses, social workers, and specialists who offer physical, emotional, and spiritual support. This includes managing pain, relieving symptoms such as nausea or breathing difficulties, assisting with decision-making, and supporting families through challenges.

This care can be delivered in hospitals, outpatient clinics, nursing homes, or at home.

It is appropriate at any stage of a serious illness, whether or not the patient is seeking curative treatment.

How Palliative Care Works
