Patients and Families

We are glad that you have chosen to learn more about our services in the Emory Palliative Care Center. Palliative care is comprehensive treatment of the discomfort, symptoms and stress of serious illness, but it does not replace primary care treatment for you and your loved one. The Palliative Care team coordinates closely with your health care team as we help prevent and ease suffering. We focus strongly on centering care around the needs of the patient and their family to collectively improve quality of life.
