In line with ASCO Clinical Guidelines, we encourage early introduction of palliative care alongside active treatment. Palliative and supportive care supports patients and families at any age and any stage of disease, alongside curative and disease-modifying therapies. Our team strives to improve patients’ quality of life through symptom management, psycho-oncology, social work, and patient education and support services. We deliver care across northeast Ohio, including at Cleveland Clinic’s Main Campus, regional hospitals, outpatient clinics and homecare settings.

We lead innovation in palliative care through the implementation of novel models of care, including embedded consultation in cancer and targeted consultation in the Medical Intensive Care Unit.
Interdisciplinary teams consist of physicians, advanced practice nurses, psychologists, social workers and nurses specialty trained in an array of physical, emotional and social issues families face amid a cancer diagnosis.
We’re an extra layer of support, working alongside medical providers and specialists in managing each patient’s cancer journey.
Complimentary specialist-led educational sessions for your healthcare professionals during tumor boards, grand rounds and other meetings. Email cancerspeakers@ccf.org for details
