Comfort Care
Comfort and Freedom From Pain
The goal of palliative care is to relieve the pain, symptoms and
stress of serious illness- whatever the prognosis. Palliative
differs from hospice care, as it may be provided at any time during
a person's illness, even from the time of diagnosis and during the
same time as curative treatment to ensure each day is lived to its
fullest potential.
Along with symptom and pain management for the patient,
Keystone's palliative care goals also include communication with
and support for the family.
Palliative care could help you:
- If you experience chronic pain or other symptoms of your
illness.
- If you want to control negative side effects resulting from
your medical treatments.
- If you need assistance coordinating your care among multiple
health care providers.
- If you desire to maintain control over your treatment choices
ensuring your wishes are known and respected.
