Palliative Care

Palliative Care is all about you. We are a designated team designed to help you and your family make decisions regarding a serious, ongoing medical condition. The purpose is to focus on quality of life while considering your healthcare decisions and goals.

 

The Palliative Care team works with you through all the stages of your illness (you do not have to be dying)in order to improve your quality of life as well as support you and your family throughout the disease process. Our services are available for individuals with potentially life-limiting medical conditions such as but not limited to:

  • Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)
  • Advanced Heart disease
  • Advanced Lung disease
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Cancer
  • Dementia
  • Kidney failure
  • Liver disease
  • Neurological diseases
  • Stroke

The Palliative Care team strives to care for you and your family as a “whole person.” We work alongside you through all stages of your condition, whether you choose to seek aggressive treatments or not. We are available to you and your family at the request of a doctor, and consultations can take place anywhere.

Serving thousands of patients since 2005, St. Luke’s Palliative Care has been on the forefront of this new continuum of care over the past decade. Our mission is to give the healthcare we’d like our loved ones to receive. Our vision is to provide expert leadership in Palliative Care for those we serve. Our purpose is to be an advocate for you.
