Palliative Care is available close to home

Tests and treatments

You can get palliative care along with the treatments you’re receiving. The goal of the specialized medicine is to relieve suffering by treating the total pain that can include physical, psychological and/or spiritual.

In a serious illness, the symptoms can include pain, shortness of breath, fatigue (tiredness), nausea, difficulty sleeping, depression, anxiety and decreased appetite.

You can get help with:

• complex pain
• shortness of breath (dyspnea)
• fatigue (tiredness)
• depression
• anxiety
• difficulty sleeping (insomnia)
• decreased appetite

Most insurance companies cover palliative care, and the services can be provided in the hospital, at home or in assisted living facilities.

What’s the difference between Palliative Care and Hospice?

Palliative care doesn’t mean it’s the end of life. Hospice is a type of palliative care designed for patients with a life expectancy of less than 6 months.

Palliative Care can help you and your family by:

• Managing pain and symptoms that come with some serious illnesses
• Support and guidance in making difficult medical decisions
• Navigating the health care system by working with your physicians to make sure you’re getting the best care that’s right for you
• Emotional and spiritual support for you and your family
