SPRINGFIELD – Work on a new palliative care unit at Mercy Medical Center is 75% complete, but additional funding is still needed, officials say.
The Andy Yee Palliative Care Unit will be more than a physical space. It is designed to provide individualized care with “dignity and tranquility” to patients who are critically ill, have life-altering injuries or are in the final stages of their lives. Palliative care helps patients whose illnesses are serious and possibly terminal.
