To alleviate pain and restore quality of life
Philosophy
- Pain is whatever the person experiencing the pain says it is.
- Pain often has a profound effect on the individual, the family, and other support systems.
- Pain is complex, potentially affecting the physical, mental, social, economic, and spiritual well-being of the patient and sometimes significant others.
- Each patient has the inherent right to function at the highest achievable state of self-sufficiency and independence.
- That a goal-oriented approach involving various combinations of medical, physical, educational, psychological, and spiritual interventions can best help each patient.
