Great Article on Palliative Care (Comfort Care)

I ran across this article today, had not seen it before and it is really good. Clearly explains several things and highlights some of the most important ideas I wish more people knew.

There is such a need for dementia education, just generally for our society. The information in this article is a good start. Palliative Care of the Patient with Dementia - PMC (nih.gov)
