ABOUT US
The
Fairview and Area Palliative Care Society was created to assist patients and
their families with their needs at the end of their life. A palliative patient
is someone for whom a cure is no longer possible. Therapy is aimed at providing
support, reduce suffering, and improve the quality of life for the person,
family and friends. At this point in your life, you and your family have
the option of choosing your type of care. Your choices should be discussed with
your doctor to see if a suitable program can be arranged. Your care can be in
the hospital, Long Term Care or at home or a combination of these.
OUR SERVICE
