A growing, multidoctor, mobile hospice and palliative care practice in Louisville, Kentucky, is described. Services are exclusively dedicated to palliative medicine, hospice, and end-of-life care. The characteristics of, and unique considerations associated with, this practice's patient population are discussed. Demand for hospice and palliative care services is increasing even though these fields are in the early stages of growth and development, and availability of services is limited. Research is an essential step toward improving care provision and evaluating the value of hospice and palliative care services in terms of patient comfort, quality of life, and survival time.
