Palliative care is specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses, focused on providing patients with relief from symptoms, pain, and stress. No matter the diagnosis, our goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family. Our services are appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness. Palliative care can be provided together with other medical treatment for the underlying illness. Listen in as Donna Butler, MSN, a Palliative Care Nurse Practitioner, discusses palliative care and how it can help your loved ones get the compassionate care they need at a very difficult time of life.
