Patients with a complex, life-threatening illness often have
unrelieved symptoms and significant physical difficulties at some time
during their illness. Specially trained staff at Wishard Health
Services' Palliative Care Program can help coordinate the complex
medical care for patients as they face the physical and psychological
challenges associated with their illness.
"Palliative care is the active, total care of patients whose disease is not responsive to curative treatment." - World Health Organization
