Palliative care is often misunderstood. Let’s clear up some common myths:

Myth	Fact
Palliative care is only for the dying.	It can start at any stage of a serious illness.
It means stopping treatment.	It works alongside curative and other supportive treatments.
Only cancer patients need it.	It’s for many illnesses—heart, kidney, neuro, and more.
It’s the same as hospice.	Hospice is for end-of-life; palliative care isn’t.
It’s just for pain relief.	It also supports emotions, mind, and family needs.
Families are left to manage alone.	Care teams guide and support families.
Only available in hospitals.	It can be given at home, clinics, and more.
It’s too expensive.	Many insurance plans cover it.
