WHAT IS PALLIATIVE CARE?

It’s specialized care to help people who are living with a serious illness live well— by providing relief from the stress and symptoms they often experience.

With a goal of improving quality of life for them and their families, it can be helpful at any time during a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment.

THE BENEFITS ARE CLEAR

Studies show that living well with serious illness is more likely for those who choose palliative care, because it helps them:

Cope with side effects from treatment

Manage symptoms such as pain, fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea

Understand what to expect and feel more prepared

Make informed choices by learning treatment pros and cons

Talk more openly about their illness and what’s important

LIVING LIFE ON YOUR TERMS

Studies also find that patients who use palliative care alongside their treatments are likely to experience:

Better quality of life
Less physical discomfort
Better overall mood

Sharing what matters most, so those close to you can speak up on your behalf, is also important. And we can help.
