What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is aimed at relieving the suffering of serious illness and improving quality of life for people at any stage of the disease, whether that illness is curable, serious, or life threatening. Palliative care is a unique care provided by a team of doctors, nurses, social workers, and spiritual counselors who provide palliation and healthcare support for people. This type of care focuses on treating the symptoms of disease, while allowing the patient to concurrently seek curative treatment if they so desire. The goal in palliative care is to ensure that your symptoms are managed properly so that you may carry on with your day-to-day life without the discomfort or suffering of your disease.

“Destiny Hospice brought my aunt on service while she was in the hospital. They were able to bring her home where she spent the last days with her family around her. Hospice was a very hard experience, but we were very grateful for the nurses and staff at Destiny for their care and support. The staff were wonderful in helping me and my family through this. Special thanks to nurses Mareila, Eva and Jo, bath aide Jodi and Chaplain Luis.” -S.G.
