Referring Providers

Collaborative palliative care for your patients

We partner with physicians and care teams to support patients living with serious illness. Our role is to enhance—not replace—existing care by improving symptom control, supporting complex decision-making, and aligning treatment with patient goals.

We prioritize clear communication and timely updates, keeping referring providers informed at every step.

Who We Work With

We partner with clinicians and care teams across Austin and Central Texas, including:

  • Primary care physicians

  • Oncologists and cancer centers

  • Cardiologists and pulmonologists

  • Neurologists

  • Hospitalists and inpatient teams

  • Home health and specialty practices

Our role is collaborative—not substitutive. We support your care plan while helping patients and families navigate complex medical decisions.

When to Consider a Referral

Palliative care may be helpful for patients who:

  • Have uncontrolled symptoms such as pain, dyspnea, nausea, or anxiety

  • Have frequent hospitalizations or complex care needs

  • Are facing difficult treatment decisions

  • Would benefit from additional support for patients and families

What to Expect

  • Clinic-based palliative care consultations

  • Ongoing collaboration with the referring provider

  • Clear documentation and communication

  • Care delivered alongside disease-directed treatment
