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

How Your Period Can Reveal Your Health Story

At Tanner Women’s Care, serving women throughout west Georgia and east Alabama with locations in Carrollton, Villa Rica and Wedowee, we hear common questions like, “Is my period normal? How often should it occur? When should I worry about irregular periods?” These concerns are valid and deserve clear answers close to home. Typically, a healthy menstrual cycle occurs every 21 to 35 days, lasts from three to seven days, and is accompanied by a flow that doesn’t interfere with daily life.
