Many people confuse palliative care with hospice care, and there remains stigma around discussing serious illness, death, and dying in America. The reality is that we will all encounter serious illness in our lives whether for ourselves or for a loved one. This presentation will explore the similarities and differences between palliative care and hospice care, why understanding these concepts matters, and why conversations about them should not be taboo.
