Palliative Care focuses on comfort and quality of life.  This coordinated, collaborative care involves a team of caregivers who work to address your health concerns according to your values, goals and preferences.  Palliative care teams are typically led by a physician, and often include a nurse practioner, PA, Nurse, Chaplain or Counselor.  This team works diligently to keeps you at the center of our efforts, creating a plan of care that takes into account all that makes you, well....you.  We work alongside your regular primary care providers and specialists, helping to coordinate your care and adding emphasis on your day-to-day sense of welbeing and self-control.  When you are well informed and involved in your heath care decisions, and given the tools to manage how you feel, you enjoy each day more, and it turns out, for many physical challenges, you do better with routine treatments.
