Palliative care (pronounced pal-lee-uh-tiv)  is specialized care for people living with serious illness. Care focused on relief from the symptoms and stress of the illness. The goal is to improve and sustain quality of life for both the patient and the family. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with active treatment. Palliative care facilitates patient autonomy, access to information, and choice. The palliative care team helps patients and families understand the nature of their illness and make timely, informed decisions about care.
