Palliative care is for all patients with debilitating chronic and life threatening conditions from the point of diagnosis and regardless of prognosis. It covers all age groups and all diagnoses. Eligibility is based solely on patient and family need for palliative care. It is delivered concurrently with all other appropriate curative or life prolonging measures. Illnesses may include cancer, heart disease, chronic lung disease, dementia, stroke, and other advanced illnesses such as HIV/AIDS.
