What is Palliative Care?

It is specialized medical care focusing on supporting patients with pain relief and as well as easing other serious illness symptoms, regardless of the stage or diagnosis of the disease. Palliative care teams (PCT) work together to enhance the quality of life for not only patients but their families as well. This type of care is provided along with curative or other treatment forms the patient may be receiving.
