Personalized care for the stress of serious illness.
We use a comprehensive approach to caring for people with serious illness by focusing on the whole patient; addressing the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual suffering of disease. Our interdisciplinary team includes physicians, nurses, physical therapists, psychologists, counselors, massage therapists, music therapists, social workers and others committed to supporting patients and their families through the stress of serious illness.
Innovative answers to the challenges of providing serious illness care.
The research efforts of the Center for Palliative and Supportive Care focus on seeking out innovative answers for Palliative Care problems. Our researchers are committed to supporting the clinical efforts of Palliative Care by studying three domains: the relief of physical and emotional suffering; improvement and strengthening of the process of patient-physician communication and decision-making; and assurance of coordinated continuity of care across multiple healthcare settings.
Expert clinicians training the next generation of Palliative Care team members.
In addition to our renowned Palliative Medicine Fellowship, our expert clinicians provide extraordinary learning opportunities for the entire healthcare team through time-tested programs such as the Clinical Training Academy and the Palliative Care Leadership Centers™ Program.
