Helping patients and families dealing with life-limiting disease

At WashU Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital, we recognize that facing a serious illness can be overwhelming. The Palliative Care Service is available to help patients and families with the burdens imposed by life-limiting disease.


Mission

To improve symptom management and support the best quality of life for patients with life-limiting illness and their families through specialized, inter-professional clinical care, education and research.

Vision

Barnes-Jewish Hospital will be the place where patients and their families want to receive care, because of our cutting edge technology, our compassion, and our commitment to improving people’s lives.

Values

We believe in treating the whole person, not just the disease. We focus on quality of life for each individual and family we serve. We help patients and their caregivers clarify their goals in order to make the best possible choices.
