An integrated palliative care plan with goals of therapy that change throughout a child's illness will reflect an individualized, child-centered, and family-centered approach to care. This care plan will act as a foundation to assist and guide all providers, from the primary pediatrician to the subspecialty surgeon, in providing interventions that will most benefit a child and add life to the child's years.
