What Is Palliative Care and When Do You Use It?

Jul 26, 2024

Palliative care focuses on pain and symptom relief. Dr. Joe Straton explains why it’s appropriate for anyone with breast cancer.

Palliative care is often confused with hospice care, but the two are very different. This podcast is the audio from a special Virtual Community Meetup featuring guest moderator Dr. Joe Straton.

Listen to the episode to hear Dr. Straton discuss:

  • the issues palliative care addresses
  • the difference between palliative care and hospice care
  • the appropriate time to request palliative care
  • insurance coverage for palliative care
