Trident Medical Palliative Care

Compassionate Care for Patients with Serious Illness—Beyond Hospice

At Trident Medical, our palliative care program is designed to improve quality of life for patients living with serious or chronic illnesses. Palliative care is not hospice—it is care that can be provided alongside curative or life-prolonging treatments, at any stage of illness. 

Our focus is on relief from symptoms, emotional support, and care coordination so patients and families can live with comfort, dignity, and confidence.

• Timing: Hospice care is typically reserved for patients near the end of life, while palliative care can begin at any stage of serious illness.
   
• Treatment Goals: Palliative care works alongside treatments aimed at curing or controlling disease, not replacing them.
   
• Flexibility: Patients can transition to hospice if needed, but palliative care is not limited by prognosis.
   

1. Dedicated Nurse Practitioner (NP):
   Our NP is fully committed to palliative patients, providing personalized assessments, symptom management, and ongoing follow-up. 
2. Unlike other healthcare providers, your NP knows your case intimately and ensures seamless care.
    
3. Interdisciplinary Clinical Team:
    
   • Registered Nurses (RNs) coordinate care and manage clinical needs.
      
   • Social Coordinator provide emotional support and resources for patients and families.
      
   • Care Managers ensure smooth communication among all providers.
      

1. Non-Clinical Support:
