Primus palliative care experts help you experience relief from the pain, symptoms, and stress of serious illness. No matter your age or stage of illness, we work closely with you and your doctors to help you navigate your care and understand your treatment options. Our goals are to help you gain physical, emotional, and psychological strength, and to ensure you and your family experience the best possible quality of life.

The debilitating effects of serious illness are often magnified by physical, mental, and spiritual pain and suffering. As palliative care experts, we partner with you, your family, and your medical team to help you find relief.

Our team includes doctors who are subspecialists in palliative medicine. They work alongside nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, social workers, and chaplains who are also trained in palliative care. We work as a team with patients of all ages, and at all stages of serious illnesses.

Palliative care is different from hospice care because we start working with you at the time of your diagnosis, not toward the end of treatment. We provide support every step of the way. We help you navigate the health care system, provide guidance in the complex treatment choices you face, and help you better communicate with your physicians and your family.
