A.I.M. Palliative Care is medical care focused on improving quality of life for patients and their families. A key emphasis is managing symptoms (nausea, sleep problems, depression/anxiety, pain, loss of appetite, shortness of breath) related to chronic illness and the treatments. A.I.M Palliative Care also focuses on improving planning and communication among the care team (patient, family and medical staff) and addressing emotional and spiritual needs.
Our mission is to help alleviate patient and family suffering and to promote patient quality of life through professional clinical consultation, and education.
If you have a serious illness affecting your quality of life (CHF, COPD, end stage cardiac, ALS, cancer, MS, Parkinson's and more) causing you significant discomfort, you have questions about your treatment plan, or you need additional support.
A.I.M. Palliative Care helps during all stages of an illness. It is best introduced early, alongside curative treatment.
To begin A.I.M. Palliative Care, ask your doctor for a referral. We can help you whether you are in the hospital, at home or in a nursing home.
We can address these needs with an experienced team of specially trained physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, and spiritual care coordinator. This team works with your doctor to provide the best possible care.
