What is the Origin of "Palliative Care?"
"Palliative care" is a term that comes from the Latin word palliate, meaning "to cloak." From the beginning, caregivers across the continuum viewed palliative care as a way to reduce suffering and improve a person's quality of life.
What Is the Difference Between Palliative Care and Hospice Care?
