How does palliative care work?

Collaborative Care

Palliative care specialists work with doctors along with other health care team members such as nurses, nutritionists, social workers, chaplains and pharmacists and focus on creating an individual plan to address any treatment side effects, pain, emotional aspects and other concerns patients may be experiencing.

Holistic Approach

The idea is to treat the whole person — including the physical, emotional, social and spiritual aspects. Palliative care is often confused with hospice care, which is provided for people who have a terminal diagnosis. Palliative care can be provided at any time during a cancer diagnosis, not just at the end of life.
