Palliative Care Teams

Palliative care teams consist of healthcare professionals who focus on improving the quality of life for patients with serious illnesses. Their goal is to provide relief from symptoms, pain, and emotional distress, regardless of the patient’s diagnosis or stage of illness. These teams typically include doctors, nurses, social workers, and chaplains who work together to support both patients and their families. Palliative care can be provided alongside curative treatments and emphasizes personalized care, helping individuals navigate challenges related to their health and enhancing their overall well-being.
