Hendricks Regional Health Palliative Care

About

Palliative care is specialized medical care for patients with a serious or chronic life-limiting illness. It focuses on giving patients relief from the symptoms and stress of their illness. Palliative care professionals work closely with family members, caregivers and the medical team to improve your quality of life. Palliative care is not the same as hospice, which is care for patients in their final weeks or months of life. Palliative care is appropriate for patients of any age and at any stage of their illness. Unlike hospice, it can be provided together with curative treatment.
