We help you:

  • Make plans for future care and difficult health choices
  • Find emotional and spiritual support through counseling or community resources

Palliative care versus hospice care

Both hospice and palliative care give support and comfort. However, palliative care is given to patients at any stage of a serious illness or injury. Hospice is for patients near the end-of-life who are no longer receiving cure-related treatment.

We aim to improve the patient's quality of life and reduce their symptoms at any point along the treatment path.

How to get palliative care

Anyone – patients, families or health care providers – can request palliative care services.

For patients in the hospital, the physician in charge of your care can ask for palliative care. For patients not in the hospital, call Legacy Medical Group-Palliative Care at 503-413-6862 for more information.
