Helping Arkansans live better is what we’re all about. Arkansas Palliative Care is designed to work concurrently with physicians’ treatment plans to reduce the patient’s symptoms and improve their quality of life. In the hospital, patients benefit from a team approach of care that provides an extra layer of support during hospital or ICU stays. Plus, special attention to the patient’s symptom management and goals of care allow for earlier discharge and decreased readmissions. In the community, patients receive support where they live to reduce hospital readmissions or ER visits, improve pain and symptom control, and provide caregivers with educational resources. It all comes together to provide increased patient and family satisfaction and better care coordination across the continuum. Contact us today for more information on how Arkansas Palliative Care can help patients, caregivers, and physicians, with support and comfort beyond treatment. Arkansas Palliative Care is now serving hospital patients in CHI St. Vincent Little Rock and Hot Springs, and providing community-based care across Central Arkansas and the Diamond Lakes region.
