Pediatric
Palliative Care
Pediatric palliative care is supportive care for children with a serious illness and their families. It is a unique type of support that focuses on quality of life and aims to ease the symptoms, discomforts and stresses associated with serious illness. Heartlinks works alongside the child’s primary doctor and specialists who listen to your needs and work together on them.
