Adam B Hill MD
Associate Professor of Pediatrics
Head, Section of Palliative Medicine
Palliative Medicine works alongside all other primary subspecialists and primary care teams. Our goal is to help patients/families define their own values-based goals of medical care, while assisting in complex medical decision making and complex pain and symptom management, with a focus on providing the best quality of life possible for patients navigating serious illness. And for some families, if the resources are needed, our team assists in coordinating care transitions which may include community-based resources, such as hospice.
The Palliative Care Team Provides:
- Help with complex Pain and Symptom management
- Assistance with Medical Decision Making
- Defining Values Based Goals of Medical Care
- Ongoing assessments of Quality of Life
