The Team
Palliative care is provided by palliative care specialist doctors and nurses, and includes others such as social workers and chaplains who work together with a patient’s other doctors to provide an extra layer of support.
Palliative Care is different than Hospice care as it can be combined with traditional, curative treatments.
Your Day Spring team provides:
- Time to devote to family meetings and patient/family counseling
- Skilled communication about what to expect in the future to ensure care is matched to the goals of the patient and family
- Expert management of physical and emotional symptoms, including pain, depression, anxiety, fatigue, shortness of breath, constipation, nausea, loss of appetite, and difficulty sleeping
- Coordination and communication of care plans among all providers and across all settings
