Internal Medicine Physicians Specializing in Hospice and Palliative Medicine provide holistic care to patients with severe, life-limiting illnesses, focusing on preventing and relieving suffering by managing physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs.

Holistic Care: Addressing the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of the patient and their loved ones to reduce suffering and promote overall well-being.
Care Coordination: Working with an interdisciplinary team of professionals (nurses, social workers, dietitians, etc.) to coordinate comprehensive care.
Advanced Care Planning: Guiding patients and families through difficult decisions, helping them articulate their goals of care, and ensuring treatment aligns with their values.
End-of-Life Support: Providing specialized care for patients with terminal conditions and managing the logistical and ethical considerations of end-of-life care.

Focus on Quality of Life
Palliative care can be provided alongside curative treatment, while hospice is a specific type of palliative care for those with a limited life expectancy.
Unlike some treatments focused on curing a disease, hospice and palliative care physicians focus on maximizing patients’ quality of life, regardless of whether the illness is curable.
