For patients living with end-stage heart failure, comfort and quality of life become the priority. As advanced heart disease progresses, symptoms such as pain, breathlessness and fatigue can become increasingly difficult to manage and may lead to repeated hospitalizations.

Hospice provides compassionate physical, emotional and spiritual support designed around each patient's goals, helping them remain as comfortable as possible. Learn more about the specialized support available through our Hospice End-Stage Heart Failure Specialty Program: https://hubs.li/Q04B2lsF0

On World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, we're highlighting the important role hospice and palliative care play in helping patients and families navigate serious illness.

Both hospice and palliative care focus on comfort, quality of life and support, helping patients receive care that aligns with their goals and wishes. Palliative care can begin at diagnosis and alongside treatment. Hospice care is typically chosen when treatment is no longer working or a patient decides to stop curative treatment for a terminal illness, shifting the focus to comfort, quality of life and support for both the patient and their loved ones.

***CAREGIVER SPOTLIGHT***

Joshua Pinson
Physical Therapist Assistant
Amedisys Selma Care Team

I have been a Physical Therapist Assistant for nearly 10 years, working in a variety of settings including outpatient, acute care, skilled nursing facilities, and swing bed. Even though I am just beginning my journey in home health, I can already tell it is my favorite. I love the personal
connections that come with home health and the opportunity to see patients soon after surgery. Helping them progress toward independence so they can spend meaningful time with their
families and thrive in their communities has been such a joy. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my beautiful wife, Callie, and our two daughters, Ellie Ann and Cora Jo. Some of my hobbies include basketball and music. I currently lead music at my church and love serving in that capacity. I truly love the home health field and look forward to many more years of serving patients in this way.
