When serious illness affects you or someone you love, palliative care can help you focus on what matters most. Palliative care helps relieve symptoms, reduce the challenges of illness, and guide you and your family/caregiver through complex decisions. We help you live as well as possible, at every stage of illness.
We bring academic expertise and compassionate care together. At Westchester Medical Center, the flagship of Westchester Medical Center Health Network, palliative care is available for all admitted patients. Wherever you are, we partner with your doctors to deliver care that supports all patients and caregivers.
Seamless Support, Wherever You Are
At WMCHealth, palliative care is more than medicine. It is a partnership. We listen to you and your family/caregiver, then shape care around your goals.
We use tools like advance care planning and symptom management to ensure your care reflects your priorities. This makes certain that your medical care team understands your wishes.
We also coordinate your care to keep it connected, consistent, and holistic. You will receive support from a dedicated specialist trained member of our interdisciplinary team to answer questions and guide next steps.
