Pediatric Hospice Our Pediatric Team works in concert with a child’s primary care physician and specialists to relieve symptoms and manage pain for children diagnosed with a life-limiting condition. Pediatric hospice care can be provided while the child is receiving curative treatment.
“Jacob was born with a genetic neurological condition that has delayed his development and causes long-lasting irritability spells. One of his crying fits can last several days. When Jacob turned 2, I heard about The Elizabeth Hospice’s pediatric care program. I thought hospice was only for people who were terminally ill. But I learned that this service is available for children with complex medical conditions and that pediatric hospice care could provide our son and family with extra help and support. Jacob’s care team focuses on his needs and is always looking for ways to enhance his quality of life. These skilled compassionate professionals work together beautifully. This is the best family-centered care program that we could have found for our son.”
