Dedicated to improving the quality of life of those facing a serious medical diagnosis.

Palliative support is appropriate for illnesses like serious cancer, end-stage organ failure or neurological diseases. 

HOLISTIC APPROACH

  • We empower patients and their families to navigate the new uncertainties that comes with any serious illness journey.
  • We treat distressing symptoms caused by the disease or treatments.
  • We support patients in making complex medical decisions and in planning ahead.
  • We pay attention to all aspects of being human – physical, emotional, social and spiritual.
  • We support the loved ones around a patient.
  • We connect patients and their families to other appropriate resources and services.
