FAQs
Palliative care is specialized medical care focused on improving the quality of life for individuals living with serious illnesses. It addresses the physical, emotional, spiritual, and psychological needs of patients while supporting their families.
Anyone diagnosed with a serious illness can benefit from palliative care, regardless of the stage of their condition. It is designed to help patients manage illnesses such as cancer, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), kidney disease, and more.
These services are recommended to patients at any point in their healthcare journey, whether they are undergoing curative treatments or focusing on quality of life.
Although both focus on comfort and support, palliative care is available to individuals at any stage of a serious illness, even while receiving treatment aimed at curing or managing their disease. Hospice care, on the other hand, is for individuals nearing the end of life who choose to focus solely on comfort rather than curative measures.
At Wooster Community Hospital, our palliative care team will work with you to determine the most appropriate approach based on your unique needs and goals.
