Traditions Health, Home Health & Hospice Care Discusses Palliative Care & Hospice Care
On the Traditions Health Hospice Hour, hosts May Ronci and Jim Holloway were joined by Doctor Brar, Henry Mayo Palliative Care Medical Director, UCLA Northwest Medical Director, and Assistant Professor at UCLA School of Medicine.
Together they spoke about educating others on palliative care, hospice care, and the misconceptions that come with these practices.
Palliative care refers to treatment of any serious illness through symptom management, regardless of the stage or progression. With hospice care, the focus lies more on those who have reached a stage in their treatment where no other cure is available, making the care surrounded more on comfort care.
