When is palliative care appropriate?

Palliative care is appropriate alongside curative treatment at any age and at any stage in a serious illness.

Palliative Care/Serious Illness Support is a comprehensive set of benefits and supports available to members and their caregivers who are living with serious illness. Our vision is that every person living with serious illness will experience personalized care that is consistent with their values, goals and preference; caregivers will feel included, honored and supported.

Our clinical team will help support providers who are looking for ways to better address the needs of their patients living with serious illness and who may benefit from specialty palliative care.
