Absolutely, and I gave a lecture on this not long ago. Palliative care basically means care not aimed at curing or treatment of illness or malady, but rather providing comfort to the patient. The patient does not necessarily have to be diagnosed with a terminal illness to receive palliative care. Hospice care, on the other hand, encompasses palliative care with other types of care for the dying person and his family.
