Palliative Care: What is it? How do I get it?
Cancer: Managing Symptoms | Last Active: Dec 29, 2023 | Replies (44)Comment receiving replies
I was recently diagnosed with Pulmonary Sarcoidosis. And, I also have a twisted aorta that is somewhat calcified. I have 100% confidence in Mayo, MN, and love everyone there. Next week, I see a Pulmonary Physician and Cardiovascular Doctor. Along, with more testing. I may be interested in Palliative Care at some point. I am curious about whether I can get it down here in Southeast Iowa. How can I find out more about it?

In addition to @sueinmn’s recommendation to look for local palliative services, you may also wish to talk to your Mayo pulmonologist and/or cardiologist about palliative care options at Mayo Clinic.

There are some palliative care resources in southern Iowa, but it will depend upon where you live. I don't usually advise Dr. Google, but in this case, you might try this search:
