Responsibilities Home Palliative Care Services (HPCS) is a program for those coping with challenging and complex medical care. Palliative Care sees more than just the health condition - it sees the person behind it. Palliative Care is focused on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of serious illness.

The goal of Dignity Health's Home Palliative Care Services team is to improve quality of life for patients with complex needs and help with what is important to them.

Palliative Care patients often need support and resources to assist them in coping with their illness or condition. Patients are seen in their home environment, allowing the Palliative Care team to better understand the patient and their situation, their needs and any challenges that may be present.

Palliative Care is based on the needs of the patient, not on the patient's prognosis.

Dignity Health's Home Palliative Care Services program offers a multidisciplinary team focused approach, providing an extra layer of support to patients and families. The team includes a dedicated Medical Director, Nurse Practitioner, Registered Nurses, Social Workers, Spiritual Counselors, and other health care professionals as needed.

Our team gets to know each patient individually, learning about the challenges they are facing, they needs they have, and the support that would benefit them. We work collaboratively with the patient's physicians, including primary care and specialists.
