Meet the Medical Director of OSF Home Care
Supportive and Patient Focused End of Life Care

The goal of palliative or end of life care is to achieve the best possible quality of life through relief of suffering and control of symptoms, while remaining sensitive to personal, cultural and religious values.

Palliative care has become an area of special expertise, as trained professionals work alongside the patient and family to deliver the comfort and care desired.

Join Robert Sawicki, MD, medical director of OSF Home Care, for an interactive discussion on end of life care, on Wednesday, April 30 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Center for Healthy Lifestyles. The program is free. Light refreshments will be served.

To register, please call 1-888-6-ASK-OSF (1-888-627-5673).
