  • What is Palliative Care?
  • How Palliative Care Differs from Hospice Care
  • When and where Palliative Care is given
  • Who provides Palliative Care
  • How do I get Palliative Care
  • The Goals of Palliative Care
  • Managing Symptoms and Side Effects
  • Helping with Practical Concerns
  • Addressing Spiritual Question or Concerns
  • Providing support to family, friends, and caregivers
  • Introduction to Ethical Wills
