DONATE Today

Coping with an advanced illness can be overwhelming—most people don’t know where
to turn for help. Fortunately there are people working in our community who do.

SUPPORTIVE CARE, PREVIOUSLY REFERRED TO AS PALLIATIVE CARE, IS SPECIALIZED
MEDICAL CARE THAT FOCUSES ON REDUCING THE SYMPTOMS, PAIN AND STRESS CAUSED BY
SERIOUS ILLNESS — WHATEVER THE DIAGNOSIS. IT IS APPROPRIATE AT ANY AGE OR STAGE
OF ILLNESS AND CAN BE PROVIDED ALONGSIDE CURATIVE TREATMENT.




WHAT IS THE GOAL OF SUPPORTIVE CARE?


IMPROVING QUALITY OF LIFE

The goal of supportive care is to improve quality of life for both patient and
family. Care is provided by a team of Physicians, Nurses, Social Workers and
other specialists who work with the patient’s Physicians to develop a plan of
care. Supportive care is an extra layer of support whereby the team can offer
information and guidance for complex medical decisions.
