Supporting your goals of care

Advance care planning

First, we meet with you and your family to understand the needs and challenges your condition brings to your life. Then we work with you to develop a care plan that includes the input and expertise from the full care team – your primary care physician, palliative care doctor, nurses, specialists, and any other healthcare providers involved in your care.

Setting your goals for care lets us help you get the most out of life during your illness, rather than putting it on hold.

Pain and symptom management

Pain is a top concern with any medical condition. Your unique care plan will ensure that your pain treatment reaches the best possible balance between comfort and function, according to your own goals and wishes. 

Family Support

We know families feel the impact of a serious illness too. We will help your family by listening, providing information, helping to communicate, finding necessary resources for extended care issues, and more.

Assist with transitions of care

The healthcare system is complicated. Arkansas Palliative Care acts as an advocate for the patient, helping them and their family navigate care between providers.
