When someone enters palliative care, the primary goal of everyone involved should be maximizing and extending that person’s quality of life by managing their symptoms and offering comfort wherever possible. However, the patient’s quality of life isn’t all that matters – that patient’s family should also be made to feel supported and in the loop.

The palliative care team at Pittsburgh Health Partners is focused on improving the level of communication between families, patients, and the healthcare professionals involved in their care. We proudly provide home visits, allowing us to become a part of you and your loved ones’ routine and assist patients whose mobility is limited.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hospice palliative care?

No, hospice is not the same thing as palliative care. Palliative care is focused on taking comfort measures to relieve symptoms and stress associated with a life-limiting illness, and can be a support from diagnosis to treatment to end of life. Hospice is reserved for patients whose prognosis after a terminal illness is six months or less.

Do you accept insurance for palliative care?

Yes! Pittsburgh Health Partners is proud to accept insurance from a wide variety of providers across the greater Pittsburgh area. If you have questions or you’d like to learn more about your options, please feel free to reach out to our compassionate, knowledgeable staff.
