Focusing on Quality of Life

If you or a loved one are living with a serious illness, you should consider adding palliative medicine to your treatment plan. Palliative medicine is supportive care that focuses on controlling and relieving the symptoms and stress of a serious or life-threatening illness.

There are many benefits to palliative medicine, including:

  • Help understanding your condition and treatment options
  • Assistance with access and coordination of care
  • Options for difficult to manage symptoms
  • Care that addresses physical, emotional, and spiritual needs
  • Advance care planning assistance
  • Team approach consisting of physicians, advanced practitioners, rehabilitation services, case management, and other providers as needed
  • Care can be provided in the hospital or at home

Palliative Medicine vs Hospice

Palliative medicine is available at any time during an illness, and can be utilized as needed, or throughout a patients’ treatment.

Hospice care is provided to patients with a terminal illness with a life expectancy of six months or less, and who are no longer receiving disease-directed treatment of their medical condition.
