Palliative Care Clinic Services

Serious illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and kidney failure can cause many physical and emotional symptoms. Providing comfort, relieving symptoms and easing stress caused by disease and treatment is called symptom management.

We focus on identifying and managing troublesome symptoms, strengthening coping mechanisms, and building interpersonal relationships to improve your quality of life. Our inclusive approach enables people to feel better and regain strength and hope.

  • Conduct an extensive patient assessment

  • Provide and discuss effective treatment options
  • Provide follow-up care
