Palliative care is a specialized approach to support and provide relief for individuals with chronic conditions by managing their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being and comfort. The goal of palliative care is to enhance their quality of life and offer peace of mind to their families.

Many think palliative is only associated with hospice or end-of-life care. However, key differences between palliative and hospice care exist.

Hospice delivers services to those with limited life expectancy, while palliative care can be provided any time after the diagnosis of a chronic illness, regardless of a person’s life expectancy. Hospice services can also begin when curative treatments stop, but palliative care can be offered in conjunction with treatments.
