Founded in 2011, the Palliative Care Program at Penn Medicine strives to ease the physical, emotional, spiritual, and social impact of serious illness on individuals and families, through an interdisciplinary approach that emphasizes expert clinical care, comprehensive educational programs, and innovative research. We work with patients and families in the inpatient setting, in outpatient clinics, and in their homes, providing care and treatment during all states of serious illness.
