While palliative care largely concerns itself with relieving pain and may be iven along with curative treatments ospice care focuses on a dying erson's last six months (or less) of ife. Both have the goal of making the patient as comfortable as possible, but alliative care can also be performed or terminal and non-terminal atients alike.
