DESCRIPTION:\nComfort\, Love and Respect that Hospice Offers is Focus of No
 vember&rsquo\;s National Hospice and Palliative Care Month\n\n&ldquo\;Comfo
 rt. Love. Respect.&rdquo\; 2012 Theme Inspired by Actress and Hospice Advoc
 ate Torrey DeVitto\n\n(Alexandria\, VA) &mdash\; Every year\, more than 1.5
 8 million people living with a life-limiting illness receive care from hosp
 ice palliative care providers in the U.S.\, reports the National Hospice an
 d Palliative Care Organization. During National Hospice and Palliative Care
  Month this November\, providers across the country are raising awareness o
 f the many benefits of hospice palliative care.\n\nMore than traditional me
 dical care\n\nHospice palliative care provides expert pain management\, sym
 ptom control\, emotional support\, and spiritual care to patients and famil
 y caregivers when a cure is not possible. Care is provided by a highly trai
 ned team of professionals and volunteers.\n\nMost hospice care in the U.S. 
 is provided in the home &ndash\; allowing people to be with their families 
 and loved ones in comfortable surroundings at the end of life.\n\nResearch 
 by NHPCO has found that 94 percent of families who had a loved one cared fo
 r by hospice rated the care as very good to excellent.\n\n&ldquo\;Hospice m
 akes sure that people receive comfort\, love and respect during one of life
 &rsquo\;s most significant experiences &ndash\; the journey at life&rsquo\;
 s end\,&rdquo\; said J. Donald Schumacher\, PsyD\, president and CEO of NHP
 CO. &ldquo\;The compassionate way that hospice helps maximize the quality o
 f life is at the center of this year&rsquo\;s hospice month theme.&rdquo\;\
