Palliative Care Programs

Palliative care improves the quality of life for patients facing serious illness and offers an extra layer of support for families. Specially-trained teams of doctors, advance practice nurses, social workers and chaplains work in partnership with a patient’s physician to provide relief from the pain, side effects and stress that can accompany illness and treatment.

Appropriate at any stage in a serious illness and at any age, palliative care can be provided at the same time as treatments meant to cure the condition or disease.

Providence St. Joseph Health provides palliative care that is consistent with our core values of Compassion, Dignity, Justice, Excellence and Integrity. Our care is aligned with our mission and commitment to provide exemplary whole person care.
