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.
