HHCRI focuses on National Hospice & Palliative Care Month

PROVIDENCE – National Hospice and Palliative Care Month is upon us. Each November, hospices across the country raise awareness in their communities about the care and services that hospices can offer to individuals facing serious illness. Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island is taking the opportunity to encourage families and individuals to have a conversation about the services hospice can provide to a seriously ill loved one.

Hospice and palliative care are different than traditional health care services. HHCRI provides pain management, symptom control, psychosocial support, and spiritual care to patients and their families facing the advanced stages of serious illness.

“Palliative and hospice care focus on providing the most appropriate care for patients living with serious illness,” said Diana Franchitto, president and CEO of HHCRI. “We want the community to know that there’s help available that brings comfort and respect to patients and families coping with serious illness.”
