Austin Palliative Care (APC) works with physicians, hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and rehabilitation centers to better transition patients back into a home environment.  By coordinating care and actively managing symptoms, unnecessary hospital readmissions and ER visits can be reduced.  And when the time is appropriate, APC can ease the patient’s and family’s transition to hospice care.
