Supporting medically fragile children and their families

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.

Without the caring and compassion PJH has provided, my family would not have had a home. Not just a place to stay - a home. A place that feels like LOVE.

People talk about silver and gold...how beautiful they are and valuable. But for my family, the most precious metal of all is this key to a place to call home.

PJH does not just look at what the seriously ill child needs, but what the family may need too. Whatever that need may be, the staff looks for solutions and involves volunteers in helping meet the challenge.

Susanne Dullack, PJH Volunteer since 2006

Meeting the other families and hearing their stories made our experience seem almost normal. We were thankful for a community who was able to understand and empathize with us and us for them.

Nathan Roberts
Guest resident & Ambrose's father

Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. (1 Corinthians 13:&) I believe that PJH is faith, hope, and charity.
