In this episode, we dive in deep with Mindy Rice from Hospice & Palliative Care of Iredell County to demystify the often misunderstood concepts of hospice and palliative care. Mindy explains that palliative care is a specialty focused on pain and symptom management for those suffering from serious illnesses, while also differentiating it from hospice care, which is geared towards providing comfort during the final stages of life. She shares personal anecdotes, including her own father's experience with esophageal cancer, to illustrate the profound impact of these services.

We also learn about the significant roles that team members like doctors, nurse practitioners, social workers, and caregivers play in both hospice and palliative care settings. Mindy highlights the importance of advocating for a loved one's care and the available resources to support families during these challenging times. Tune in to discover invaluable insights and practical advice that can enhance the quality of life for patients and bring peace of mind to their families.
