About our clinic

Welcome to Palliative & Supportive Care of Austin (PSCA), serving patients and families throughout the Austin area. When facing serious illness, patients and families deserve care that treats the whole person—not just the diagnosis. We work alongside your existing doctors to provide evidence-based palliative care, alleviate pain and other symptoms, clarify treatment options, and support emotional and spiritual well-being.

Our mission is simple: to help people live as well as possible, no matter where they are in their health journey.
