Understanding Non-Hospice Palliative Care
Paramount to the hospice philosophy is providing patients with freedom from pain and difficult symptoms. Care that gives comfort, eases pain or lessens the severity of symptoms without curing the underlying disease is called “palliative care.” Hospice of Holland offers a Palliative Care Program for patients who are suffering from an advance illness that is serious but not necessarily terminal, or for those not yet ready for hospice care. Upon request from the patient’s physician, our board certified hospice and palliative care physicians provide a consultation including evaluation and treatment of difficult-to-control symptoms or discomfort due to the illness or ongoing treatments.
