Blue Ridge Palliative Care Services specializes in relieving the pain, symptoms, and stress associated with serious illnesses. Our team will complement the medical treatment you are receiving from other healthcare providers, with the goal of optimizing your comfort and wellbeing. We can clarify your treatment options, help you better understand your disease, and assist you in making important medical decisions.

For many people living with a chronic illness, receiving palliative care helps them better tolerate medical treatments and the resulting side effects, improving their ability to carry on with daily life. Palliative care is appropriate at any age and any stage of disease and can be provided without stopping other treatments or therapies already in place.

We will explain your treatment options and address your concerns—every step of the way. Working together, we will strive to improve symptoms such as:

  • Pain

  • Shortness of breath

  • Fatigue

  • Constipation

  • Nausea

  • Loss of appetite

  • Problems with sleep

  • Anxiety and stress
