What is the difference between hospice and palliative care?

Does choosing hospice mean giving up treatment?
Choosing hospice means shifting the goal of care from curing an illness to maximizing comfort and quality of life; it does not mean no care is given, but rather that treatments aimed at curing the underlying disease are generally stopped in favor of comfort-focused care.
