PRHC's Palliative Care Unit has the experience in pain and symptom management and supportive care that our patients and their families require. The multidisciplinary team includes representatives from Social Work, Spiritual Care, therapies, as well as nurses, physicians and community partners.

Patients from the region are referred by their physician to the Palliative Care Unit most frequently for pain and symptom management. The goal of many of these patients is to go home.

PRHC's Palliative Care Program encompasses the Palliative Care Unit, Palliative team outreach and the Cancer Symptom Management Clinic. The Palliative team works in conjunction with community partners.

Services include:

• Cancer Symptom Management Clinic
• palliative education (community partnerships) in the region
