Joanna's goal is to develop a relationship of mutual respect and trust with her patients and their families, and to help them navigate through potentially difficult hospitalizations with clear and concise communication."

Living with a serious illness, such as cancer, can be stressful. The journey from diagnosis through treatment can be challenging – even overwhelming at times. Outpatient services provided at the Swedish Palliative Care and Symptom Management Clinic can help you manage the symptoms and stress associated with your illness or treatments.
