Comfort, Compassion, and Control: Comprehensive Symptom Management at Columbus Regional
When you or a loved one is facing a serious illness, pain and other distressing symptoms can affect every part of life—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. At Columbus Regional Healthcare System, our Palliative Care Program is here to provide comfort and clarity through a personalized approach known as Comprehensive Symptom Management.
This holistic care model focuses on improving quality of life, not just managing disease. It’s about listening to what matters most to you—and tailoring care to relieve symptoms so you can feel more like yourself again.
What Is Comprehensive Symptom Management?
Comprehensive symptom management means treating more than just pain. Our Palliative Care team works closely with patients and families to ease a range of symptoms that often come with chronic or advanced illnesses. These may include:
- Pain
- Nausea and vomiting
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
- Anxiety or depression
- Constipation or digestive issues
- Insomnia
- Appetite loss
Whether you’re undergoing treatment or focusing on comfort, our team partners with your other healthcare providers to ensure your symptoms are well-managed and your care is coordinated.
Who Benefits from This Care?
Palliative care is appropriate for patients of any age and at any stage of serious illness, including:
- Cancer
- Heart failure
- COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
- Kidney disease
- Liver disease
- Neurological conditions like Parkinson’s or ALS
- Dementia
You don’t have to wait until the final stages of illness. In fact, early integration of palliative care has been shown to improve comfort, communication, and even survival for many patients.

The Power of Listening
At the heart of comprehensive symptom management is listening: to your goals, your fears, and your hopes for care. For some, that means finding energy to attend a family event. For others, it means feeling confident about medication decisions or breathing easier after weeks of discomfort.
Our team is here to ask the right questions—and help you find answers that bring peace and relief.
