Palliative Care addresses the physical, social, psychological, and spiritual or existential needs of patients and families who are living with a life-limiting illness.  This holistic approach to care draws on the expertise of a multidisciplinary team of health professionals and trained volunteers.

Palliative Care McGill's multidisciplinary teams provide a range of services in a variety of settings including outpatient day clinics and in-hospital palliative care units.  For further information, please refer to the site-specific descriptions available through the menu options on the left side of this page.
