Palliative care is comfort
care. It is a hall-mark of the Hospice philosophy. Palliative care seeks to relieve suffering whether physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual in nature.
Palliative care requires expertise in pain
and comfort medications along with an approach of kindness and acceptance.The staff and volunteers of Hospice
of Martha’s Vineyard offers palliative care with these skills.
While our focus is caring for those with a life-limiting illness
our services are also available to people with chronic pain.
