Understanding Palliative CareLiving each day to the fullest is so important for people who have chronic (long-term) or advanced illness. Palliative care can help people be as independent and comfortable as possible. Palliative care is available to anyone who is in any stage of a chronic or advanced illness. It is for people who are being treated for cancer or other serious diseases. Hospice care is for people who have six months or fewer to live. Palliative care benefits people who are living with pain and other physical symptoms, as well as emotional and spiritual concerns. It helps patients and their families understand their illness and treatment choices, as well as address financial and community resource options. 
Allina Palliative Care's team approach is to make certain that patients with advanced illness get the highest quality of care in any care setting. This approach sometimes decreases the length of hospital stays and eliminates unnecessary emergency room visits. It can also ease transitions between the hospital, nursing home and other care settings. Please call 651-635-9173 for more information. |
