One of the primary goals of palliative care is ensuring quality of life for patients living with chronic or complex illness. We recognize that to achieve this, we must offer holistic care that goes beyond clinical needs and includes comfort for the emotional, social and spiritual needs of patients and their families. Palliative Care at Home brings this to patients in a familiar environment, helping people better meet their individualized goals of care: https://hubs.li/Q03fN2qD0

Palliative care is focused on improving quality of life and reducing symptom burden for patients, offering meaningful comfort to those living with complex and chronic illness. Because of this and the other supports palliative care brings to patients, families and healthcare providers, its adoption is increasing at all stages of care, not just the end of life.
