Balancing Care
with Hope: Palliative Care and Hospice
The HHS Rural Monitor noted that many, including
medical professionals, sometimes believe palliative care is appropriate
only for people who are nearing the end of life. Palliative and hospice
care can dramatically improve a variety outcomes for patients and families.
Misconceptions about these services, along with the discomfort people feel
with talking about serious illness and end of life, can create barriers to
these services.
Join these events to learn how your community can engage with
palliative care and hospice providers to create greater access to services,
balancing health care with hope and dignity.
