Palliative Care

The UM Medical Center's Palliative Care program provides comprehensive patient and family centered care and treatment for individuals suffering from all types of progressive and incurable diseases.

Palliative care treatment does not preclude aggressive treatment and addresses the physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual needs of the patient and their loved ones. The goal of palliative care is comfort, which all patients may benefit from.
