Elements of Care
Advance care planning
We enable the patient to express in
advance their preferences related to pain management, patient advocacy,
treatments, counseling, and other quality of life issues.

The Palliative Care professionals
work with the patient's doctors, nurses, and other care providers to identify
and coordinate the care plan most appropriate for the patient.
Spiritual care
Our pastoral care team provides
spiritual support to patients and family members to help them cope with serious
illness, while providing spiritual services that respect the patient's cultural
beliefs and rituals.
Dignity
We strive to provide the patient
and family with comfort, respect and dignity during this difficult time.
Emotional support
We realize the importance of
providing emotional support to the patient and family when coping with a
serious illness.
