What is Palliative Care?

• Palliative care near me is intended to provide
  comfort and support for patients and their
  families and to help them navigate the complex
  medical and emotional issues that come with
  serious illness. Palliative care can be provided
  at any stage of an illness, from diagnosis
  through treatment and beyond, and can be
  delivered alongside curative treatments.

• Palliative care is provided by a team of
  healthcare professionals who work together to
  address the physical, emotional, social, and
  spiritual needs of patients and their families. 
• The Palliative Care team may include doctors,
  nurses, social workers, chaplains, and other
  specialists, depending on the needs of the
  patient.
