Palliative Care Clinics
Palliative Care Inpatient Unit
The Palliative Care Inpatient Unit is a seven-bed dedicated inpatient unit where patients requiring acute symptom management are cared for by the palliative care team. Care is provided for physical symptoms such as pain, breathing difficulty, and infection, as well as for emotional, social and spiritual needs. Patients who are actively dying can also spend their last days on the unit and receive the support of the staff. Families are welcome to stay 24 hours a day, and there is no age limit for children visitors.

The palliative care team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our Palliative Care Administrative Offices can be reached at 434-243-9125.
