Palliative
Palliative care, aimed at managing and relieving pain and symptoms, can be seamlessly integrated with curative treatment when palliative care expertise is accessible in your area. This approach becomes an attractive choice for individuals who may be uncertain about their prognosis or not yet ready to discontinue curative efforts. Some individuals may opt for early palliative care while simultaneously undergoing curative treatment, gradually transitioning to hospice care as needed. Palliative care can be provided on an outpatient or inpatient basis, including the comfort of a patient’s own residence. As part of our commitment to comprehensive care, our Sierra Outreach Program is an additional service offered to all palliative care recipients at no extra cost.
