EVERYONE should have access to Palliative Care

"Nearly 80% of consumers who received information on palliative care said they would choose it for themselves or their loved ones,” AND "Among individuals older than 65 who heard the definitions, 87% indicated that they would choose palliative care. The percentage was 86% among patients who currently suffer from a serious illness, and 89% among their caregivers. “

In the world of statistics - and the world that is life!- those are some GOOD percentages, yet people still. don’t. understand. palliative. care. (and that’s not their fault! it’s got a crazy branding problem)

We often wonder what the disconnect is, and aren’t sure of the answer, but it’s definitely one of the reasons we created Mettle Health. To say “HEY! here’s where you can get holistic care! come see us and learn how we can support you!” when traditional healthcare hides it behind many layers of referral and other red tape.

EVERYONE should have access to this type of care, and we hope by pulling it out of the medical system, we’re helping a little bit with the misconceptions and access issues that exist within it. (just a teeny bit, that’s all we need)
