Lunch and Learn topic is Palliative vs. Hospice Care Sept. 10

What’s the difference between palliative care and hospice care? Delaware Hospice will host virtual a Lunch and Learn program on this topic from 12:15 to 12:45 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 10.

Palliative care and hospice care can help patients and their families thrive in the face of serious illness by providing holistic in-home support. They both focus on managing pain, symptoms and anxiety while offering practical knowledge, resources and assistance to make the journey smoother. And they’re both available to anyone at any age. But the two types of care differ in a couple of key areas that will be discussed in this session.

Delaware Hospice and Honoring Choices Delaware have teamed to launch this virtual informational Lunch and Learn series featuring speakers from Delaware Hospice and community experts on a variety of topics. Lunch and Learns are free conversations on topics including pain management, social media, what happens to my body after I die, traditions to keep, caregiver stress and more.
