Palliative Care is tailored care of patients struggling with a serious illness who are struggling with symptom management and are at risk of hospitalization or accelerated disease progression.

The goal of Palliative Care is to improve symptom management, decrease E.R. visits, decrease serious events, and reduce stress on the patient and their family.

While both Hospice and Palliative care patients have serious illnesses, palliative care is not limited to patients with limited life expectancy. Palliative Care patients can still seek medical cures or disease slowing therapies.
