OUR APPROACH TO PALLIATIVE CARE
Palliative care is a physician-directed subspecialty dedicated to caring for patients with complex medical conditions and disease progression. Even after receiving aggressive medical treatment, these patients often require symptom management to reduce frequent ER visits, avoid unnecessary hospitalizations, and alleviate further suffering.
Symptom Management: Palliative care focuses on relieving symptoms such as pain, nausea, and fatigue, improving the overall comfort of patients with serious illnesses.
Enhanced Quality of Life: By addressing physical, emotional, and psychological needs, palliative care helps patients maintain a better quality of life, even when dealing with complex medical conditions.
Reduced Hospitalizations: Effective symptom management and coordinated care can help prevent unnecessary hospitalizations and reduce emergency room visits.
Support for Families: Palliative care provides support and counseling for families, helping them cope with the stress and challenges of managing a loved one’s serious illness.
Patient-Centered Care: This approach respects and incorporates patients' goals and preferences into their care plan, ensuring that treatment aligns with their values and wishes
