comes with serious illness of any type. We assist with medical management, clarifying goals of care and helping patients and families understand complex medical treatments.<\/p>\n<p>If you or your loved one are currently in the hospital and are interested in our services, ask your attending physician if a palliative medicine consult is right for you or your family member.
