Elizabeth Palliative Care
We continued to provide hospice care, palliative care and grief support to children and adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our care teams stayed connected to their patients, often serving as a bridge between families and their loved ones and helping reduce their patients’ feelings of isolation and loneliness. Counseling sessions with those who were grieving the death of a loved one were conducted via videoconferencing and telephone for children and adults in our community. Elizabeth Palliative Care is designed to relieve patients from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious or life-limiting condition for patients who are continuing to receive curative treatment. Our team of care navigators is specially trained in pain and symptom management. Their focus is on improving the quality of life and preserving the dignity of life for patients.
“Bob and I have been married for 53 years. When his health declined, I wanted to do everything possible to help him. Bob’s doctor, who we respect and trust, recommended palliative care from The Elizabeth Hospice so we decided to explore this health care option. I needed support and it was easy to see that the Palliative Care Team could help. They keep me grounded and never make me feel that my questions are silly or unimportant. It’s a great comfort to know these skilled, kindhearted people are here to guide me in caring for my husband.”
