What is Palliative or Hospice Care?
Palliative care occurs simultaneously with aggressive or curative treatments, often managing symptoms that these therapies cause. Palliative care is not necessarily restricted to those patients who are dying.
Hospice is a special concept of care designed to provide comfort and support to patients and their families when a life-limiting illness no longer responds to cure-oriented treatments.
