Supportive/Palliative Care

Supportive care, also called palliative care, involves a variety of resources to improve the quality of life for a child with a chronic or serious illness by addressing their needs for comfort. The Pediatric Supportive/Palliative Care Program at Miller Children’s is unique in that it begins at diagnosis and is a part of the care plan, whether the child is at home or in the hospital, throughout cure or bereavement. The hematology/oncology care team is trained and supports supportive/palliative care.
