Dr. Lucille Saha's specialties are hospice and palliative medicine (end-of-life care and serious illness) and family medicine. She practices in Tallahassee, FL. She studied at Michigan State University.

"I have been going to Dr Saha for over 2 years and have found her to be very knowledgeable and she has a great beside manner. She listens to my questions and has been able to respond to all my health concerns. Dr Saha has referred me to other specialists as needed and appropriately. I explained some veritgo symptoms and she immediately had a cause and offered solutions. Her office staff is fine, I have no complaints with them but most of the time I do have to wait 30-45 minutes past my appointment time but I have found that is typical in office where the Dr spends time with their patients. Dr Saha spends whatever time is needed for my appointment and I never feel it is rushed."

What is Hospice and Palliative Medicine?

Palliative care refers to any medical care that focuses on treating a patient's symptoms, such as pain, rather than directly addressing the underlying disease. Hospice care is a specific kind of palliative care that aims to make patients more comfortable at the end of their lives. Although hospice care and palliative care are two distinct medical specialties with their own definitions, they are very closely related to each other. Palliative care can technically be used at any stage of life; however when most people use the term palliative care, they are referring to hospice care -- making a terminally ill patient more comfortable when there is nothing more that medicine can do to treat their illness.

Hospice medicine is professional medical care for patients in the last 6 months or less of their lives. The aim of hospice is to provide quality of life rather than quantity and to make the patient and family as comfortable and supported as possible as they prepare for the natural process of death.

Hospice care is provided wherever the patient lives, whether that is at the patient's home, in a nursing home, in a hospital, or in some cases a center run by the hospice. Care is provided by a team of professionals, which usually includes:

Doctors
Nurses
Social workers
Therapists or counselors
Chaplains, pastors, priests, imams, or other clergy
Volunteers, who help with day-to-day tasks

Hospice care provides medical care, treatments and medications, services such as physical therapy, equipment such as wheelchairs, community and religious connections, and emotional support.

Death can be a difficult event, and hospice aims to help tend to the physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs of patients at this time. After death, hospice often continues to support the family through the logistics of the funeral and any religious services as well as their grief process.
