Support at every stage of serious illness

Your gift strengthens pediatric palliative care so no family faces a child’s serious illness alone.

Your generosity improves quality of life for children and families when they need it most

When children are facing complex and life-threatening medical conditions, families need more than medical care. Your gift to the Division of Pediatric Palliative Care helps us provide comfort and support to improve quality of life during this important time.

Your generosity ensures the most effective services alongside each child’s medical care, from pregnancy through early adulthood. Donations help us provide individualized care tailored to each family’s goals and values through our two outstanding, family centered programs: 

  • Partners for Children - Little Heroes League (palliative and complex care from infancy through young adulthood)
  • Stepping Stones Pediatric Palliative Care (symptom management and family support from infancy through young adulthood)

Your gift makes an important difference by supporting: 

  • Counseling for families and connections to community resources
  • Crisis, bereavement, and grief support
  • Care coordination to ensure organized, effective services
  • Child life services to help children cope with procedures
  • Expressive therapies and support from a facility dog
  • Help with understanding medical information
  • Family-centered care and shared decision making

Your support makes a big difference for families facing the stress and uncertainty of a child’s serious illness. Thank you for your generosity.
