Palliative care resources for providers
At Carelon, we help patients navigate the impact of serious illness by managing symptoms, reducing stress, and supporting quality of life — while you continue to lead their care. We work alongside you as an extension of your care team to support better coordination and patient outcomes.
What is palliative care for serious illness?
Carelon Palliative Care is a resource for patients with serious illnesses such as congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cancer, dementia, or Parkinson’s disease. It can be introduced at any stage of illness, including soon after diagnosis.
Our palliative care team is led by board-certified physicians who specialize in caring for patients with complex or serious conditions. Evidence shows that palliative care can help manage symptoms, reduce stress, decrease emergency department visits, and improve overall outcomes.
Working together to support your patients
While you direct medical treatment and life-prolonging therapies, our advanced practice providers, registered nurses, social workers, and other specialists work alongside you to:
- Address behavioral health and social needs.
- Anticipate and help prevent potential health complications.
- Facilitate advance care planning.
- Manage disease symptoms and adverse effects from treatment.
- Coordinate access to medical equipment.
Our team is on call 24/7 to provide support. Regular check-ins help us monitor a patient’s status and keep you up to date.
