Palliative care offers comfort and support throughout a serious illness, not just at the end of life. It focuses on managing symptoms, providing emotional and spiritual support, and meeting the needs of both the patient and their family.
Here are the 5 phases of palliative care:
- Diagnosis & Prognosis
- Treatment & Symptom Management
- Disease Progression & Transition
- End-of-Life Care
- Bereavement Support
Palliative care can improve the quality of life for those with serious illnesses and their families.
