Palliative care is specialized medical care for people living with a serious, progressive, often life limiting illness. This type of care is focused on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of the illness, to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family.  Examples of serious illness often seen by a palliative care team include all types of cancer, end stage organ disease (e.g., heart, lung, liver, kidney), dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and other progressive neurological disorders.

At St. Luke’s, caring for people in the communities we serve is our mission – and this includes our own SLHS team. We offer a robust benefits package to support our teams both professionally and personally. In addition to a competitive salary and retirement plans, we ensure our team feels supported in their benefits beyond the typical medical, dental, and vision offerings. We care about you and have fantastic financial and physical wellness options, such as: on-site massages, on-site counseling via our Employee Assistance Program, access to the Virgin Pulse Wellness tool, as well as other formal training and career development offerings to ensure you are meeting your career goals.
