How Our Nurses Can Support Your Care

The Serious Illness Care Program provides personalized care and support focused on your needs. You’ll have a dedicated nurse by your side who can:

• Help manage pain and other symptoms
• Schedule and coordinate healthcare provider appointments
• Talk with you about what matters most to you
• Help you understand your condition and care options
• Connect your caregiver with helpful local resources

Take Control of Your Care. We’re Here to Help.

If you become seriously ill, only you truly know what matters most to you. Sharing your wishes with your loved ones and healthcare team helps ensure you receive the care that’s right for you especially if you’re unable to speak for yourself.

You can start by taking these simple steps:

1. Choose a Trusted Partner: Select someone you trust to speak on your behalf if you’re ever unable to make decisions on your own.
2. Complete a Living Will: Write down your care preferences in a living will. You can update it at any time if your wishes change.
3. Talk with Your Healthcare Provider: Share what matters most to you and let your provider know who you’ve chosen to speak for you if needed.

Support That Helps You Feel Better

When you’re facing a serious illness, having the right care team by your side can make a real difference. We’re here to support you with care that focuses on your needs, your goals, and comfort.

People who receive palliative care often experience:
