Palliative Care

Understanding the medical, social and emotional challenges that come with a serious illness.

Palliative Care

Palliative care helps you — and your loved ones — understand the medical, social and emotional challenges that come with a serious illness. Also called Complex Disease Management, we focus on relieving the pain, symptoms and stress related to treating and managing a disease.

Who benefits from palliative care?

A serious illness brings unique challenges to patients and their loved ones alike. Our program helps when you’re first diagnosed or at a later point in a disease’s progression.

You may benefit from complex disease management if you’ve been diagnosed with:

  • Cancer
  • A neurological disease, such as ALS and Parkinson’s disease
  • Kidney or liver failure
  • Lung disease or emphysema
  • Congestive heart failure (CHF)
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Dementia

Members of the Caregiving Cycle: The Family Caregivers

Acting as a caregiver for a family member can be a rewarding experience, allowing you to spend time and care for someone you love. Caregiving covers a range of situations from those who just need a little extra help caring for themselves to those who are undergoing things such as surgery recovery, cancer treatment and terminal illness. No matter what your role is, one important factor that is often overlooked is who takes care of the caregiver.
