Our Approach to Palliative Care

At CFVH’s Palliative Care program, our goal is to enhance comfort and quality of life for patients with serious illnesses. We provide compassionate care tailored to meet physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Our team consists of medical specialists, nurses, social workers, pharmacists, dietitians, and clergy. Each member plays a vital role in supporting patients and their families. Together, we create a comprehensive care plan tailored to each patient's needs.

Medical specialists focus on managing symptoms and improving overall health. They work closely with your primary healthcare team to ensure seamless care. Nurses provide daily support and coordinate with other team members to address any immediate concerns.

Social workers help patients and families navigate the emotional challenges of serious illness. They offer counseling and connect you with community resources. Pharmacists ensure that medications are used effectively and safely to manage symptoms.

Dietitians provide nutritional support to help patients maintain strength and energy. They create personalized meal plans that accommodate specific dietary needs. Clergy offer spiritual care and support for those seeking guidance and comfort.
