Palliative Care
A Supportive And Compassionate Team For Any Life Threatening Condition
When a loved one is critically ill, the entire circle of family and friends is affected. California Hospital has a very special and compassionate Palliative Care team that supports the needs of the patients and families who are facing a progressive, life-limiting health condition.
Our Palliative Care Team includes specially trained physicians, nurses, social workers, pharmacists and spiritual care providers who work with you, your family and the primary care physician involved to ensure an outstanding and consistent course of care.
Palliative Care Is Available At Any Time
Palliative Care can be introduced at any stage during the course of hospital care. We recommend that patients and families consult with our Palliative Care team as soon as a condition is determined serious and life-limiting.
