Request a ConsultRelief during serious illness
Palliative care addresses the pain, symptoms, and stress of serious illness. It can be appropriate at any stage and may be provided alongside treatment intended to cure or control an illness.
This page explains care options. Please contact Talna to discuss local palliative care resources, referrals, and whether a service is available for your situation.

| Can curative treatment continue? | May accompany curative treatment | Focuses on comfort rather than curing the terminal illness |
| What about coverage? | Depends on the provider, services, and insurance | The Medicare hospice benefit and other coverage may apply |
