Dr. Sarah Whelan, medical director for OSF Hospice and Outpatient Palliative Care in Rockford, today provided some keen insight into hospice care. Former President Jimmy Carter made news recently when it was announced that he was going to receive hospice care at home for the remainder of his life, instead of receiving any additional medical intervention. The oldest-living former U.S. president has dealt with several health issues in recent years. By opting for hospice care, the goal now is to make Mr. Carter as comfortable as possible with the time he has left. “Hospice care is specialized medical care in those later stages of life," says Dr. Whelan said. "When you are thought to have a prognosis of six months or less, and it's where the focus of your medical care shifts from disease curing or possibly life-prolonging treatments to comfort-based treatment or quality of life treatment, getting you to enjoy those last days you have at home, doing the things that you enjoy doing.”
