Quality of Life Care Program

"Palliative care should not be the last resort ..... or about giving up. It's about increased quality of life and enhanced coordination of care. It is not about dying. It is about living with cancer. It's not less care. It's more care."
Fred Meyers, MD, University of California, Davis School of Medicine
