How is Pediatric Palliative Care Provided?
Pediatric Palliative Care collaborates with area physicians, healthcare organizations and agencies to provide comprehensive, coordinated, interdisciplinary consultation for pediatric patients and their families living with serious and life-limiting illnesses in a variety of care settings. A pediatric palliative care team comprised of a physician, pediatric nurse, spiritual counselor, licensed social worker and a pediatric mental health counselor provide clinical consultation for physical and emotional symptom management as well as anticipatory grief guidance and assistance.
