Palliative Care in Phoenix Arizona

Palliative

Palliative care, or pain and symptom management and relief, can be administered in conjunction with curative treatment if palliative care expertise is available in your area. This may be a good option for individuals uncertain of prognosis or not ready or willing to stop curative efforts. Some people may need or opt for palliative care early in their illness while they are receiving curative treatment and move later into hospice care. Palliative care may also be provided if curative efforts stop, and it may be administered in an outpatient or inpatient basis, including at a patient’s residence.  Our United Outreach Program is an additional service all Palliative individuals receive at no additional cost.

Hospice Outreach Programs in Arizona

Outreach Program

The United Outreach Team is committed to providing support, education, and advocacy to ensure the highest quality of life for our senior population. This free program is designed to emphasize the importance of advocating for the needs of seniors. Specifically, this program benefits those individuals who do not currently qualify for hospice services: individuals who do not have close family members to advocate for them as well as individuals/families who would like additional assistance in navigating the medical field. This program offers free Social Worker and Chaplain support, along with referrals to vetted community partners for additional assistance and resources.
