PALLIATIVE CARE
Palliative Care provides supportive, consultative care for individuals living with a serious illness, with a focus on comfort, symptom management, and quality of life. The Pathways Palliative Care Program is designed to support patients who are continuing curative treatment while helping them manage the physical, emotional, and practical challenges of illness.
Our palliative care team works alongside a patient’s existing physicians to provide an added layer of support. In addition to symptom relief and care coordination, the Pathways program can help identify and connect patients with additional services and resources that may be beneficial throughout their care journey.
