NIHAN’s Geriatric Seminar Series provides free health care education and resources to the geriatric community, by presenting topics related to the 4M’s, an age-friendly health care framework—What Matters, Medication, Mobility, and Mentation. The goal of the 15-session NIHAN Geriatric Series is to foster healthy aging for old adults, in order to create a more healthy and age-friendly geriatric community in Nevada.

This session covers Hospice and Palliative Medicine. Palliative Care is different from Hospice but are often seen as interchangeable terms because they both work on improving quality of life & comfort for a patient. This is an invitation to the general public for a presentation to discuss palliative and hospice care. Dr. Ronald Tan discusses the differences between hospice and palliative care, hospice eligibility, and to clarify any misconceptions, falsehoods, or myths about the services palliative care and hospice provides.

In this seminar, topics covered include:
Differences between Palliative Care & Hospice Care
Hospice Eligibility
Clarifying any perpetuated Myths about palliative and hospice services
