Pediatric Care

The challenges of a life-limiting illness involving a child are especially difficult.

The Pediatric Hospice Program can help you and your little one live more fully with a terminal illness.

Program Overview

Our specialized team of medical and clinical support services surrounds the family with the right care at the right time, in their own home to improve the quality of life for those living with a terminal illness. We focus on providing relief from the pain, symptoms, and stress of a serious illness for both the patient and the family.

When is Pediatric Hospice Appropriate?
