Palliative care

Palliative care is specialized medical care focused on providing relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress associated with serious illnesses. It is designed to improve the quality of life for patients and their families by addressing not only physical discomfort but also emotional, social, and spiritual needs. Palliative care can be provided alongside curative treatment at any stage of a serious illness, including cancer, heart disease, or chronic respiratory conditions. At Revere Health, our palliative care team works closely with patients, families, and other healthcare providers to create personalized care plans that support comfort and well-being.
