Our palliative care team will be successful when our patients are empowered to define and direct care goals. We commit to excellent and compassionate care.

We will utilize an interdisciplinary approach for excellent symptom management, opportunities for meaningful discussion and emotional/bereavement support throughout the continuum of care. Palliative care facilitates decision making through consistent communication and education, and support across the continuum of care.

Palliative care is viewed as a valuable service for patients, families, healthcare professionals, and physicians.

We believe that in supporting the goals and preferences of patients and families that we uphold the dignity and integrity of each unique and precious person.

In order to provide individualized care, it is essential to establish collaborative relationships with healthcare providers that they, too, may realize their potential in alleviating suffering through informed and compassionate care.
