About the company

Compass Palliative Care treats people living with serious illnesses, focusing on relief from symptoms and the stress of ongoing medical care. Its clinicians develop personalized plans for pain, breathlessness, nausea and fatigue, while counselors and chaplains support patients and families. The practice works alongside a patient's existing medical team to coordinate care, discuss treatment decisions and plan for future healthcare needs. Patients enter through a physician referral, followed by an intake conversation and an initial consultation to establish their care needs. Services take place at home, in outpatient clinics, in hospitals and in other care facilities according to each patient's situation.
