Palliative care is holistic care that identifies, assesses and addresses the comprehensive needs of people experiencing serious illness, including pain and other symptoms, social, emotional and spiritual needs.
It’s difficult for families to know when it’s time to consider palliative care. All families come at serious illness with a different perspective or viewpoint, but the earlier the families approach palliative care, the more we can be helpful to them. So I encourage people to consider us as early as you want to, and even if we don’t get directly involved, we can still be of assistance in a care coordination method.
Jeffrey Steinig, MD, FACS
Medical Director of Palliative Care Services, Catholic Health
Palliative care is for anyone diagnosed with a serious illness, regardless of age or stage of their illness. It can be delivered simultaneously with treatments aimed at curing or delivered by itself when a cure is no longer an option.
Palliative care is an integral part of Catholic Health. The care that these medical professionals provide is deeply linked to our mission and values; embodying our commitment to provide compassionate care for the seriously ill.
We deliver palliative care at any stage of illness. Visit us online to learn more at chsbuffalo.org/services/palliative-care or call the number below.
