What is "palliative care"?

Palliative care is a way of providing care that's geared to comfort, not cure. Palliative care can be provided in a number of settings. Palliative care can be provided along with hospice care, and most hospice care is palliative in nature. But, many hospitals these days also have palliative care programs. In a palliative care program in a hospital, they will provide additional resources in terms of symptom management and emotional support for you while you're hospitalized.
