    Options for People Facing Serious Illness

    It’s tough to live with the complex challenges of a serious illness or chronic condition, such as cancer; advanced heart, lung or kidney disease; or dementia. When you need relief from the symptoms, side effects and stress of your diagnosis and treatments, turn to SEBMF’s compassionate, effective palliative and advanced illness care teams.

    Your Palliative Care and Support Services (PCSS) and advanced illness care teams may include specially trained doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, social workers, chaplains and other specialists as needed. These experienced staff help you live each day comfortably and according to your wishes. We offer care in the comfort of your home, at nursing homes, during hospitalizations and in our clinics, offering an extra level of support in coordination with your primary care doctor and other caregivers.

    We can provide education and support for you and your loved ones. We’ll work closely with you and all of your healthcare providers to develop a care plan based on your wishes, concerns and lifestyle, empowering you to better manage your condition. Sutter East Bay Medical Foundation also works collaboratively with Home Health and Hospice services for people recuperating from short-term illnesses or managing a chronic condition.

    Our program garners national recognition for its best practices. In addition, several of our Sutter Care at Home centers have earned Top Agency awards from HomeCare Elite — the only performance recognition of its kind in the home health industry.

    We take the time to understand your health issues, lifestyle and personal preferences to tailor your care plan. We support you and your doctor’s goals with over-the-phone support and in-person visits. If you require hospitalization, Sutter Care at Home hospital liaison staff will be there to support you and facilitate your transition back home.

    Our goals are to:

    • Empower you to manage your health.
    • Support you to identify your choices, values and preferences for your care.
    • Help you cope with your symptoms and provide comfort.
    • Assist you and your caregivers to manage your medications.
    • Coordinate your care with your primary care doctor and other specialists.
    • Help you plan for your future.

    Pain Research

    Sutter Health Pain Research
    In medicine, pain relates to the perception of a sensation that hurts. Only the person who is experiencing the pain can describe it properly. Research seeks to understand all types of pain, how to stop it or how to lessen it to improve a person’s quality of life.
