At Chicago Hope and Palliative Healthcare, Inc., our palliative care services provide an extra layer of relief for those facing serious illnesses. This specialized care focuses on managing pain, easing symptoms, and reducing the stress that comes with complex health conditions. Whether provided alongside curative treatments or as part of advanced illness support, palliative care enhances the quality of life for both patients and their families.
What Is Palliative Care?
Palliative care is designed to improve comfort and well-being without signaling the end of treatment. It can begin at any stage of illness and is available at home or in a facility. Patients can transition in and out of care as needed, ensuring flexibility and support throughout their healthcare journey.
Care starts with open discussions about the patient’s current needs and long-term goals. The care team—including physicians, nurses, counselors, and family members—works together to provide personalized care that aligns with the patient’s values and preferences.
