Integrated Palliative Care

Integrated Palliative Care is a comprehensive approach that provides support to patients with serious illnesses, focusing on relief from pain and other distressing symptoms. It involves a team of healthcare professionals working together—doctors, nurses, social workers, and others—to address physical, emotional, spiritual, and social needs. The goal is to improve quality of life for patients and their families, whether they are at any stage of illness or nearing end-of-life. By coordinating care across settings and providers, integrated palliative care ensures patients receive personalized, consistent support that aligns with their values and wishes.
