Supportive Care Medicine

Supportive Care Medicine

Living with a serious illness can bring difficult symptoms, emotional stress and uncertainty about treatment decisions. Supportive Care Medicine brings together Palliative Medicine and Integrative Medicine to help you feel better, understand your options and maintain the best possible quality of life.

Palliative Medicine

Palliative Medicine supports you and your loved ones at any stage of a serious illness. Your care team can help manage pain, fatigue, nausea, shortness of breath, sleep problems and emotional distress while you continue treatment. Your team also takes time to understand what matters to you. They can help you consider treatment options, communicate your preferences and plan for the future. The goal is to help you live as well as possible, based on how you define quality of life.

Integrative Medicine

Integrative Medicine combines conventional medical care with evidence-informed complementary therapies that support your physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Depending on your needs, your care may include acupuncture, mindfulness, meditation, yoga, nutrition counseling, sound therapy or other supportive approaches. These therapies do not replace conventional treatment. They work alongside your medical care to help manage symptoms, strengthen resilience and give you more ways to care for your whole health.
