Can I Receive Palliative Care while Still Getting Curative Treatment?

Yes, you can absolutely receive palliative care while still pursuing curative treatments. Unlike hospice care, which focuses on comfort when curative therapies are no longer the priority, palliative care is designed to work shoulder to shoulder with your current specialists.

At any stage of a serious illness—starting right at the moment of diagnosis—our team can provide an extra layer of support. You do not have to stop treatments such as chemotherapy, surgery, or rehabilitation to receive the relief we offer. Our role is to coordinate with your oncologist, cardiologist, or surgeon to manage side effects like pain, nausea, and fatigue so they don’t overshadow your quality of life.

We offer this support through several avenues:

• Community-Based Programs: We deliver coordinated care in your private residence, assisted living, or long-term care facility so you can stay in familiar surroundings while continuing treatment.
• The Bridge Program: For those who do not yet qualify for hospice, this program provides nurse-led monitoring and education to help you stay as well as possible while you remain under curative care.
• 24/7 Dedicated Response Team: Our clinical staff is available around the clock to manage unexpected symptoms, ensuring your comfort is never on hold.

We believe that while we cannot change the outcome of a serious illness, we can certainly affect the journey. We treat your family like our own, ensuring your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs are met throughout your entire treatment process.

Results may vary based on individual patient conditions. Please consult with a healthcare professional for personalized medical advice.
