Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act

The Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act is a U.S. law aimed at improving the quality of palliative and hospice care for patients with serious illnesses. It focuses on enhancing education and training for healthcare professionals in these fields. By doing so, the Act seeks to ensure that patients receive comprehensive care that addresses not only their physical needs but also emotional, social, and spiritual aspects. This approach helps patients and families navigate difficult health journeys, promoting comfort and dignity during treatment or end-of-life care.
