We help patients and their families manage life with a serious or chronic illness. As a nonprofit, community-based healthcare service, our goal is simple: your highest quality of life.

Like your curative care, hospice and palliative care are both provided by a team of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare specialists. The similarities include:

• Helping patients manage symptoms.
• Understand treatment options.
• Meet goals of care.
• Navigate the complicated healthcare system.
• Identify needs and direction of additional resources for spiritual or emotional care.

Palliative care is very similar to hospice care. The difference is that palliative care is available at any stage of a patient’s chronic or serious illness. Patients receiving palliative care can also still continue to receive curative treatment.
