Mercy Palliative Care provides specialized patient and family centered medical care and supportive care at any age and at any stage of a serious illness. You can receive palliative care at the same time as you receive curative or life-prolonging treatment or as the focus of your care. Palliative care specialists are experts in managing a wide range of cancer-related symptoms, such as pain, fatigue, nausea, and shortness of breath. Mercy Palliative Care works with you and your healthcare team to develop personalized strategies to address symptoms related to your illness or treatment. Palliative care emphasizes patient-centered care, ensuring that treatment plans are tailored to the individual's needs and preferences. It empowers patients to actively participate in their care and make choices that are meaningful to them. Mercy Palliative Care is available to persons in the hospital, in the outpatient clinic, and by telehealth when appropriate.
