Texas Palliative Care is a program of The Hospice of East Texas dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive palliative care to our community. Our specialized team of physicians and nurse practitioners deliver personalized care which focuses on the relief of symptom burden and enhancing the quality of life for patients facing chronic serious illnesses.  Texas Palliative Care is more than just managing symptoms – it’s about offering support and comfort to patients and their families during challenging times.

In addition to our outpatient clinic at the Tyler location, we also offer outpatient clinic services at our Longview facility on West Hawkins Pkwy. This allows us to extend our reach and provide exceptional palliative care to more communities across East Texas. Whether you visit us in Tyler or Longview, you can expect the same high standard of care and a compassionate approach tailored to meet your individual needs. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that every patient receives the best possible care, close to home.

For those who are unable to see a provider in the clinic setting, Texas Palliative Care offers at-home palliative care services across East Texas. Our home-based care ensures patients can stay in a familiar environment while still receiving the specialized support they need. Patients may also receive palliative care services if they reside in a nursing facility or in an assisted living facility. From Tyler to Longview and beyond, palliative care services with Texas Palliative Care are designed to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our patients and their families, providing comfort, dignity, and peace of mind.
