Pediatric Hospice Services
We extend hospice care to pediatric patients from 0-21 years old, with a life-limiting illness, who are currently receiving palliative care services and are eligible for concurrent hospice support. This means insurance covers palliative treatments - radiation, chemotherapy, experimental treatments as well as hospice are at the same time as treatment for the life-limiting illness.
Hope for Children with Life-Limiting Illness
