What is HEALTH & HARMONY: Comprehensive Palliative Care?
HEALTH & HARMONY: Comprehensive Palliative Care is a specialty practice designed to seamlessly blend clinical care, mental and spiritual counseling, and social services support. The goal? To help individuals spend better days at home, feeling supported on every level—physically, emotionally, and socially. It’s not just about managing illness; it’s about improving quality of life in a holistic way.

Working with Your Existing Healthcare Team
One of the biggest questions people have: “Do I have to give up my current treatment or care team?” The answer is no. HEALTH & HARMONY works alongside your doctors, acting as an extension of their practice. This means you keep your primary care provider and specialists, while getting extra support for clinical, behavioral, and social issues between visits. It’s like having a dedicated team that fills in the gaps and keeps everything coordinated.

And yes, communication with your doctors is a key part of the process—they stay in the loop, ensuring everyone’s on the same page.

It’s all about making access as easy and straightforward as possible.
