The Palliative Medicine Program brings patients an interdisciplinary team exclusively focused on symptom management and pain relief. This dedicated team includes physicians, therapists, pharmacists, chaplains, social workers, registered nurses and advanced practice nurses board-certified in palliative medicine. These specialists work with patients and their caregivers to provide relief from pain, anxiety, nausea, breathlessness and other symptoms caused by illness or brought on by treatment.
