At BThere Healthcare, our palliative care services are designed to improve quality of life for patients with serious illness while supporting families, caregivers, and facility teams.
We provide a comprehensive, patient-centered model that focuses on four key areas:
Comprehensive Assessment
Our providers perform a detailed evaluation that goes beyond the diagnosis:
- Medical conditions and disease trajectory
- Functional and cognitive status
- Symptom burden (pain, shortness of breath, anxiety, fatigue)
- Medication review and deprescribing opportunities
- Psychosocial and family dynamics This allows us to understand the full picture and tailor care appropriately.
Goals of Care Discussions
We lead thoughtful, structured conversations to ensure care aligns with what matters most to the patient.
- Clarify patient values and priorities
- Discuss prognosis in a clear, compassionate way
- Establish preferences for hospitalization and interventions
- Complete advance care planning (DNR/DNI, POLST/MOLST)
- Support families in complex decision-making
These conversations are ongoing and evolve with the patient’s condition.
Expert Symptom Management
Our team focuses on proactive and effective symptom control to improve daily comfort and function.
- Pain management using a multimodal approach
- Shortness of breath (dyspnea) management
- Anxiety, depression, and behavioral symptoms
- Nausea, constipation, and appetite concerns
- Sleep disturbances and fatigue
We prioritize both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic strategies.
Care Coordination and Facility Integration
We work closely with facility staff and interdisciplinary teams to ensure seamless care.
- Provider-led rounds and collaboration with nursing
- Communication with families and caregivers
- Alignment with care plans and facility workflows
- Support for staff education and decision-making
Our model reduces unnecessary hospitalizations and improves overall care quality.

A key part of our service is recognizing when patients may benefit from hospice care.
We guide patients and families through this transition with clarity and support:
