Palliative Care Crucial After Severe Stroke, But Many Patients Miss Out
U.S. News & World Report published an article in response to a recent study on severe stroke and palliative care consultation, which showed that only 1 in 5 people hospitalized with severe stroke over a three-year period received a palliative care consult. The article addresses how palliative care can help improve the quality of life for people living with a serious illness, and how patients and families should become aware of palliative care, so they know to ask for it.
