Center for Pain and Palliative Care

       

What is palliative care?

The word "palliative" means to ease.  Palliative care eases the suffering of the advanced illness.  We provide palliative care treatment for your symptoms, even when the underlying disease cannot be cured.  It is important to us to relieve your pain and discomfort and to reduce stress to you and your family.  Palliative care considers emotional, social, and spiritual needs.
