Living With a Life-Limiting Illness
Americans plan for the birth of a child, vacation and retirement. Far too many people are caught off guard as they or their loved one are faced with a life-limiting illness. Hospice & Palliative care is here to help support people through this journey with our Care, Compassion and Community.

Many people feel their lives have been turned upside down and are overwhelmed with the uncertainty of the future. Even with a life-limiting illness, it is possible to live well, and it is imperative that those facing an illness as well as their caregivers have the support necessary for a better quality of life.

The goal of Hospice & Palliative care is to treat the person and not just the disease. Quality of life is emphasized and care is provided in the comfort and security of the patient's home or home setting.

It is our mission at HealthPartners Hospice & Palliative Care to provide this care through our knowledge and expertise. Utilizing what we have to offer allows you and your loved one opportunities for comfort and support in the face of life-limiting illness.

The Care Team Staff coming to your home to provide comfort and care consists of:

  • Spiritual Counselors to support cultural and religious beliefs
  • Volunteers for companionship, respite or running errands
  • Complementary Therapies that augment the care, through such things as music, massage or Reiki
  • Bereavement services to be supportive in dealing with loss and grief
Let HealthPartners Hospice & Palliative Care help support you and your loved one to live life to the fullest.
