Palliative care focuses more on improving life and providing comfort to people with serious, chronic and life-threatening illnesses. It’s most effective to begin at diagnosis and continue through treatment and follow-up care, not just at the end of life. Palliative care is shown to improve the quality and longevity of life for you and your family. Palliative care addresses the emotional, physical, practical and spiritual issues of cancer. Our team encourages the best quality of life possible by helping you and your family:

• Understand and cope with illness

• Manage pain and symptoms

• Consider all of your care options

• Prepare for what to expect in the future
