Palliative Care
Palliative care is compassionate supportive comfort care that provides relief from the symptoms and physical and mental stress of a serious or life-limiting illness. Palliative care can be pursued during curative treatment.
Palliative care may be provided throughout the course of an illness, during aggressive treatment, chronic management and towards the decline of the patient. Mission Hospice’s goal in palliative care is to suppress the symptoms from the illness; so that the patient can carry on with his/her life.
If someone you know or even yourself have been diagnosed with a serious illness and think you may benefit from palliative care you can contact a Mission Hospice Representative at 1-800-311-0729 or click on the Referral button below .
