Understanding Palliative Care

Palliative care can improve your quality of life at any stage of disease.
Palliative care is appropriate at any age and at any stage of your illness, and can be provided alongside your treatment.
By starting the discussion earlier in the disease process, you can ensure that advanced disease treatment and end-of-life care are delivered according to your needs and wishes.
Palliative care may provide relief from pain and other distressing symptoms, and may reduce visits to the hospital.
Your palliative care team will work with your physician to provide support alongside your treatment.
