This manual was designed to help hospices and other health providers develop primarily home-based palliative care services for children living with life-threatening conditions. We believe that the home setting often is theweak link in the palliative care continuum for infants, children, adolescents and their families. We also believe that hospice programs in many communities may be the best positioned to advance that continuum, although there are essential lessons, perspectives, relationships and commitments that they will need in order to build a successful, high-quality pediatric palliative care program that is responsive to the needs of their community.
