The dictionary defines “palliate” as easing pain without curing the disease.
Palliative care is the medical specialty that allows people with advanced, life-limiting illness to maintain comfort and an acceptable quality of life. Through expert medical management of pain and symptoms, palliative care benefits the patient AND the family which must live with chronic illnesses such as heart and lung disease, dementia and AIDS.
Through Capital Palliative Care Consultants, our specialists are available for consults with your physician and see patients in clinics, doctors’ offices, many area hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
Our physicians also make house calls!
