Palliative Care Services

People with serious illness often feel overwhelmed by the treatment choices they face. Our Palliative Care specialists listen closely to you and your loved ones to provide patient- and family-centered guidance and decision support. Our team ensures that your treatment goals and preferences are understood by your entire care team. Our robust inpatient and outpatient clinical services provide support to our serious ill population by using both pharmacologic and adjunct therapies to address both physical and emotional symptoms.  

Our Inpatient Clinical team includes a physician, nurse, social worker and chaplain. Based on your needs, you may be seen by one or several of these providers. We work in conjunction with other medical care to ensure that patients get the best possible treatment. If you would like to request an inpatient palliative care consult, please talk with your primary care team.

The Outpatient Palliative Care Service serves patients with serious illnesses other than cancer, such as heart failure, chronic lung disease, kidney disease, liver failure and neurologic disease. Our team includes a physician, nurse, social worker and chaplain.  Based on your needs, one or several of these clinicians may see you. The Palliative Care Clinic team will partner closely with your other medical providers to help you feel more comfortable and supported.
