Palliative Care
Holistic Hug offers palliative care services to prevent or ease suffering, improve the quality of life for both the patient and their family, and help patients and their families make difficult health care decisions.
Palliative care is specialized medical care for patients living with a serious illness, such as cancer or heart failure. Patients receive medical care focused on symptom management and pain reduction.
People living with severe illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, lung disease, or kidney failure may experience emotional or physical pain related to their condition. If you’re having trouble coping with this pain, palliative care may be for you.
