What is palliative care?
Palliative care is a medical specialty that helps people with a variety of serious illnesses find a better quality of life. A palliative care professional works with you, your loved ones and your physician to create a plan of care that offers relief from physical, emotional and spiritual pain, symptoms and stress. They explain your choices and ensure your needs and wishes are honored.
Community Palliative Consultants professionals do more than just focus on relieving pain and symptoms; our experienced team helps you with critical decision-making and establishing care goals.
While hospice care and palliative care both focus on providing patients with comfort and families with support, palliative care is available at any stage of an illness. You can elect palliative care while receiving curative treatments. Palliative care also works alongside your primary care physician instead of replacing them.
