Understanding the Difference: Hospice vs. Palliative Care
November is National Hospice & Palliative Care Month, a time to learn how these two important services support patients and families.
Hospice care is for those with a life-limiting illness, focusing on comfort, dignity, and quality of life, usually when curative treatments are no longer pursued.
Palliative care can begin at any stage of a serious illness, offering relief from symptoms and stress alongside active treatment.
Both share the same heart: compassionate, patient-centered care that honors each individual’s journey.
