Senior Palliative Care
Holy Cross Hospital offers comprehensive,
multidisciplinary palliative care for patients with serious, life-limiting
illnesses such as cancer, congestive heart failure, chronic lung
disease, end-stage kidney disease, and dementia.
The palliative care department
is a team of professionals consisting of medical doctors, nurse practitioners,
pastoral care, pharmacology and administrative support services. We
treat the whole person; meeting the patient's medical, emotional, spiritual
and social needs to provide comfort, dignity and the best possible quality
of life.
The palliative care team works closely with the attending
physician and nursing staff to provide expert pain and symptom control,
education, counseling, advocacy and coordination of services for patients
and families facing end-of-life challenges and decisions.
