What is Palliative Care
Palliative (pal-lee-a-tiv) Care offers a support system to help patients live as actively as possible until death. The primary focus of Palliative Care is on relieving physical symptoms which then enable a patient and family to address psychosocial and spiritual concerns near death and ultimately enrich their lives and reduce their suffering.
Our Palliative Care provides compassionate and comprehensive care to patients and their families facing illnesses in their advanced stages and helps families cope during their loved one's illness and in their own bereavement.
Center Description
The James B. and Billie Keegan Palliative Care Center consists of 15 spacious and cozy private rooms, all with sliding door access to outside gardens, completely new and updated furniture and carpeting, attractive draperies and bedspreads, handsome armoires and cabinetry with sleepover units in each room, along with soothing lighting to add warmth to the comfortable surroundings. Art and music provide added soothing touches.
Staff
Care is overseen by a physician and nursing staff that brings extensive experience in this field. An interdisciplinary team approach to expert pain and symptom management is utilized. Emotional support, guidance and counseling for patient and family as well as respite and grief counseling for family and loved ones are also emphasized.
