What is Palliative Care?
Palliative care is specialized medical care focused on improving quality of life for people living with serious illness. It provides relief from symptoms such as pain, fatigue, shortness of breath, and stress while supporting emotional, spiritual, and family needs. Palliative care can be provided alongside curative treatment at any stage of illness.
How is Palliative Care different than Hospice?
Palliative Care
Available at any stage of serious illness
Can be provided alongside curative or life-prolonging treatment
Focuses on symptom relief, quality of life, and support
Helps with pain, symptoms, stress, and complex decisions
Can be provided in home, clinic, hospital, or facility
Appropriate for chronic, serious, or progressive illness
Hospice Care
For individuals near the end of life (typically 6 months or less)
Focus is comfort only — curative treatment is no longer pursued
Focuses on comfort, dignity, and peaceful end-of-life care
Helps with comfort, symptom control, and family support
Usually provided where the patient lives (home, facility, hospice house)
Appropriate when life expectancy is limited
Chronic illness that can benefit from Palliative Care
Palliative care isn’t only for end-of-life—it helps anyone with a serious, chronic, or progressive illness manage symptoms, improve function, and support emotional and family needs.
