Although often used with hospice care, palliative care is not exclusive to end-of-life treatments. Instead, palliative care is used to alleviate symptoms of any illness that may be limiting someone’s overall quality of life, such as pain or shortness of breath. As Kristen Rundell, MD, a Family Medicine physician at Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center, explains, palliative care is about helping manage symptoms so patients can again enjoy day-to-day life and activities.
