Merry, there are a couple of older discussions on Connect regarding the difference between palliative care and hospice:
- In this discussion, @IndianaScott shares his favorite resources and explanations https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/palliative-care-vs-hospice-care/?
- Palliative Care and Hospice Care https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/palliative-care-and-hospice-care/
I also really like the articles on Virtual Hospice's website http://www.virtualhospice.ca
