What is the difference between hospice and palliative care?

Choosing hospice means shifting the focus of care to comfort and quality of life rather than curing the underlying illness; it does not mean giving up all care, and patients can still receive treatment for pain, symptoms, and other conditions unrelated to the terminal diagnosis.
