Specializing in Palliative Medicine for Laredo, TX Patients

Palliative medicine is a multidisciplinary approach to care that is designed to provide comprehensive support in a medical, social, emotional, and practical capacity. It is designed to address the complete picture of care; a palliative care team includes specialized doctors and nurses, social workers, nutritionists, chaplains, and more. If you find yourself needing more professional support, a palliative medicine team might be the answer for your situation. 

Palliative medicine can be administered anywhere: a hospital, nursing home, outpatient facility, or even your home. It can be coordinated with potentially curative treatment; or, in some instances, it can be transitioned into hospice or comfort care. The flexibility of palliative care makes it suitable for a number of conditions and treatments. 

Trying to manage physical, emotional and practical matters when you're seriously ill can be overwhelming. Pain, tiredness and other factors lead many patients to struggle with simply getting through the day. Loved ones suffer as well, getting mired down in endless decision-making and exhaustive caring. Turn to a professional palliative care team for aid. These specialists will work together with you, your family and your other doctors, addressing your problematic symptoms, supporting your personal support network and coordinating with everyone involved to make sure all parties are on the same page. Palliative medicine is available at any stage in a disease, unlike some forms of hospice care. It will be provided alongside your primary disease treatments with the goal of improving your quality of life.
