What to Expect

Our goal is to get to know you and your needs in order to set goals for how we can best support your child, family and care team.  For you appointment, you will typically meet a physician, and our nurse coordinator.  Sometimes we work alongside a resident or fellow learning about palliative care.

Appointments are most often scheduled for an hour for an initial meeting. Follow up is based on the needs of your child and family.
