A Closer Look at Palliative Care
Palliative care is a specialized form of medical care tailored to provide relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of serious illnesses and the side effects of medications. It is designed to enhance the quality of life for patients facing health struggles, regardless of their diagnosis or stage of illness. It brings a patient comfort and support, and they may still receive curative treatment if they wish.
The purpose of palliative care goes beyond managing physical symptoms. It also addresses emotional, psychological and spiritual needs, recognizing that wellness extends beyond physical health. It’s about creating a space where patients feel understood, cared for and supported.
At Shiloh Hospice, we embrace a multidisciplinary approach to palliative care. Our team, composed of dedicated physicians, nurses, social workers and spiritual counselors, works together to create an individualized care plan that respects your wishes and priorities. Our focus is always on enhancing quality of life and ensuring comfort for our patients.

We Aim For Excellence In All That We Do.
Hospice is committed to providing compassionate support for individuals facing terminal illnesses, caring for their physical, mental, and spiritual well-being as they navigate the end of life. Similarly, palliative care shares the same philosophy of comprehensive patient care, extending its services to non-terminal patients, offering them the opportunity to lead longer, happier lives.
- By law, all healthcare professionals must respect your choice.
- You don’t need to use the hospice connected to your hospital.
Our dedicated team of professionals aims to ensure that every aspect of your care is tailored to your unique situation and wishes.
