Palliative care is specialized medical care that helps relieve symptoms, pain, and stress caused by serious illness at any stage of disease. Patients may receive palliative care alongside curative or life-prolonging treatments. In fact, palliative care often helps ease the side effects of medical treatments and supports clearer decision-making.
At Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care, we work in partnership with your personal providers to provide an extra layer of support, focused on comfort, understanding, and coordination of care.
Request a Care ConsultationPalliative care services are provided in our palliative care clinic and, in some cases, in the comfort of your home. Our services may include:
Determining the right care begins by listening, really listening. We take time to understand what you know about your illness, how your symptoms affect you physically and emotionally, and what matters most to you.
Complex illnesses can be overwhelming. We explain your condition, disease progression, and co-existing conditions in clear, understandable terms. Our goal is to help you and your loved ones feel informed and confident in your care decisions.
We work closely with the provider who referred you to palliative care, as well as your primary care physician, to ensure your palliative care plan complements your overall medical treatment. We also support advance care planning so your wishes are clearly documented and honored.
Our providers may prescribe medications and therapies to relieve pain and manage symptoms related to serious illness, always with a focus on comfort, function, and quality of life.
