Palliative care

Northbay Health’s inpatient palliative care program uses a comprehensive approach to care for patients with serious illnesses. The goal is to relieve pain and other distressing physical symptoms and to optimize the quality of life for patients and families by addressing emotional, spiritual and social needs.

Palliative care is active medical care that relieves or soothes the symptoms of a disease, without primarily aiming to cure. Care is planned to meet the patient’s unique goals. Palliative care can be provided concurrently with life-prolonging, curative treatment, or as the main focus of care for someone with a life-limiting illness while in the hospital.

Our team consists of a case manager, a social worker and nurse practitioners/physicians who will work with your primary hospital provider.

Personalized care, local access, lifelong trust.

Northbay Health Primary Care provides exceptional family practice, internal medicine and pediatric physicians close to your home with compassionate staff and access to an entire network of specialists, should you ever need one.

Our primary healthcare providers take that extra step to really get to know you, offering medical advice that fits your lifestyle. It’s all part of Northbay Health’s mission: Improving the well-being of our communities by providing conveniently accessible, high-quality care.

Care when and where you need it

When your schedule won’t allow you to see your regular doctor, Northbay Health Urgent Care is here for immediate care that doesn’t require the ER. With locations in American Canyon, Benicia, Dixon, Fairfield, Green Valley, Rio Vista, Vacaville and Winters – with more planned by the end of 2026 – our clinics treat non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries seven days a week. Walk-ins are welcome.
