What is Palliative Care?

 

Palliative Care is comprehensive care, provided by an interdisciplinary team, for patients living with a life-limiting illness and their families. Care is focused on alleviating suffering and promoting quality of life.

 

Major issues addressed are:

• pain and symptom management
• information regarding the illness
• advance care planning
• psychosocial and spiritual needs
• coordinated care with other community resources.
