Understanding the difference between palliative care and hospice care is an important step in making confident, informed decisions for yourself or your loved one. Both services are designed to provide comfort, support, and peace of mind. In fact, families who use palliative or hospice care often report better emotional support, lower stress, and fewer emergency room visits and hospital stays. 

The right choice depends on your goals, your health needs, and where you are in your journey.

As we reflect on the impact of 2025, we’re proud of the progress made and the people who made it possible. This year marked meaningful growth across programs that help older adults, adults living with disabilities, and caregivers live with dignity and choice.
