Palliative Care
Palliative Care is a medical specialty focusing on pain and symptom management during curative and/or restorative treatments, and is provided in whatever setting the patient calls home. This extra support does not replace current clinical care, but consults patients and families on supportive measures dealing with physical comfort, education on disease process, medical goal discussions, and community resources.
