Can my current doctor manage my symptoms?
Bluegrass Palliative Care does not replace your current physicians or treatment plan. We work with your doctors to understand what’s most important to you, and what symptoms are most troublesome to manage. Our specialized doctors work to get symptoms under control, with the goal of establishing a successful treatment plan that your current physicians can implement long-term. Research has shown that palliative care can reduce emergency room visits, hospital admissions, and improve quality and sometime even length of life!
