Life with Pulmonary Fibrosis | Palliative Care

People living with PF can find relief with palliative care. Palliative care is an approach to managing the symptoms experienced by people affected by a serious illness to help them achieve their best quality of life. It also addresses advance care planning so that caregivers and family members know what kind of care their loved ones want if they become unable to speak for themselves. Palliative care is different from hospice care and can begin at diagnosis or at the same time as any medical treatment. The best way to get palliative care is to ask for it.

The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF) offers essential programs and resources for people with pulmonary fibrosis. The mission of the PFF is to mobilize people and resources to provide access to high quality care and to lead research for a cure so that people with PF will lead longer, healthier lives.
