What is Palliative Care?
Palliative Care is specialized support for people living with serious or chronic illnesses, focused on improving comfort and day-to-day quality of life. It helps manage pain, symptoms, medications and stress while supporting individuals who may have multiple conditions, frequent hospitalizations or difficulty with daily activities. This care also helps clarify treatment choices and future wishes, giving patients and families greater confidence and peace of mind.
