Hospice and Palliative Medicine

Hospice and Palliative Medicine in neurology focuses on providing specialized care for patients with serious neurological conditions, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or ALS. The goal is to improve the quality of life by managing symptoms, pain, and emotional distress, rather than seeking a cure. This approach involves a team of healthcare professionals who support patients and their families through difficult decisions, offering guidance and comfort. Hospice care is typically for patients nearing the end of life, ensuring they receive dignified and compassionate support during that time. Palliative care can be offered at any stage of illness, alongside curative treatments.
