Palliative Care to Enhance Quality of Life
Given the focus on enhancing the quality of life for patients with serious illnesses, palliative care is crucial. It manages symptoms and provides comfort, making it a central service in American Veterans Hospice care for patients who are still seeking curative treatments.

Symptom Management
Our expert medical team is skilled in symptom management with medications. This program is for patients who are not ready for hospice but suffer from chronic illness, needing more support to palliate symptoms.
