Pediatric Palliative Care
Palliative care affects the whole family, with the burden of care falling upon parents and siblings or grandparents. Palliative care (supportive care) is an ‘umbrella’ term for all services that may be required to support children with a life-threatening illness. It is based on an assumption that families have many needs for supportive care (physical, psychological, social, spiritual and practical) from the time a child initially is diagnosed with a life-threatening condition.
The PJH Pediatric Palliative Care Center (PPCC) is a state-of-the-art facility designed to provide community awareness, education, and supportive care programs for children with special healthcare needs and their families in the greater Houston area and beyond. The TULIP PROJECT is a unique pediatric palliative care residential complex comprised of twelve residential homes. Here families discover a “home away from home” while children are undergoing treatment, requiring palliative care, or are awaiting or recovering from a transplant, while receiving supportive care services at the PPCC on campus.

Thank y’all for all you for people in need of your special care.
God bless you guys.
Last week there was a huge pipeline explosion in Deer Park and several families lost their homes to this tragedy. Among them is the Rodriguez family. Son Luke has recently undergone a bone marrow transplant, and sister Gabby is a high school senior preparing for college. The immediate need is housing as Luke recovers, needs refrigerated medication, and continues to require treatment/services with Texas Children’s. We are happy to welcome this family to PJH as they recover from both medical challenges and all that ensues when your home is suddenly destroyed.
Thank you to our PJH supporters who help us GIVE JOY and BUILD HOPE.
