It focuses on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of a serious illness—whatever the diagnosis. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family. Palliative care is provided by a team of doctors, nurses and other specialists who work together with a patient’s other doctors to provide an extra layer of support. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment. Both hospice and palliative care are important. The Community Hospice is the only local organization that offers both. Call our palliative care team at 518-724-0242 to see if palliative care is appropriate for you.
