Pediatric Care
Compassion for Families, Comfort for Children
Pediatric Palliative & Hospice Care
If your child is facing a serious or life-limiting illness, pediatric palliative and hospice care can provide essential support for both your child and your family.
Our compassionate team focuses on enhancing your child's quality of life through pain & symptom management, emotional support, and additional comfort measures.
We work closely with families to create a personalized care plan that addresses the unique needs of your child while also providing resources and guidance for parents and siblings.
Our goal is to ensure that every child can experience as much joy and fulfillment as possible, surrounded by loved ones in a nurturing environment.
Children with life-limiting diagnoses are eligible to receive both curative or life-prolonging treatments and home-based services from a palliative and hospice care team simultaneously.
