    #15 Palliative and Hospice Care

    Palliative Care and Hospice are 2 benefits that some people know little about or may have some preconceived notions about. I am here to explain these benefits and debunk the myths that hospice is the one foot in the grave, take away all your meds wait for you to die benefit. It is certainly NOT THAT or anything close to that. It is a wonderful benefit when the burden of treatment outweighs the benefit of the treatment. It is not giving up in no way. Palliative Care is here for you to treat the whole person and manage all their symptoms while actively seeking treatment for the disease.
