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.

It's SIBCAMP week at PJH. Time to give amazing brothers and sisters living with a sibling who has a serious illness or special needs a unique and fun experience. Our word for the day is kindness. Sibs know it comes from Greek word chrestos, meaning useful. Kindness requires action. Sibs know how to express kindness through action. Do you?
Our daughter had the best time! Thank you!
