title: Palliative care and hospice: one approach.
abstract: The establishment of the first department of pain medicine and palliative care in a medical center in the United States is a significant marker in the development and impact of the palliative care movement. The integration of Jacob Perlow Hospice into this department is a milestone in the continued evolution of the hospice movement in the United States, and suggests that an interrelationship and interdependence between palliative care and hospice is one of the characteristics of change for the future.
