Your Health, Your Palliative Care Partner

A doctor checks-up on her patient

Palliative care is a specialized form of medical care focused on providing relief from the pain, symptoms, and emotional stress of serious illnesses. Rooted in the principles of the hospice movement, palliative care is centered on improving a patient's overall quality of life—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

At Your Health, we believe that compassionate support begins with clear communication. Counseling is a vital part of palliative care, helping patients and their loved ones understand their options and set realistic goals that align with their values and desired outcomes. Open, honest conversations are essential, and treatment plans should always reflect what quality of life means to the patient.

Because our team sees patients in their homes, we gain a unique understanding of their daily challenges and personal environments. This insight allows us to better advocate for our patients’ needs—whether it’s managing complex medications, addressing mobility concerns, or recommending home medical equipment that enhances safety and comfort.

Importantly, patients don’t need to wait for a doctor to recommend palliative care. Asking questions about the course of an illness, future treatment options, and long-term expectations can help individuals make informed decisions. Palliative care can be integrated at any stage of a serious illness and can be provided alongside curative treatments.

Your Health offers in-home medical care and telehealth visits to private residences, assisted living communities, and skilled nursing facilities. Our providers are trained to deliver expert palliative care across South Carolina and select regions in Georgia and Florida, with convenient scheduling, ongoing support, and 24/7 access to medical professionals.
