Therapies aimed at modifying disease, and those intended to relieve suffering and/or improve the quality of life, as defined by the child and his/her family, will vary in each situation. This model illustrates our understanding of the specific care needs of each child and our commitment to providing active treatment and comfort care to meet the goals of care.
A dedicated and knowledgeable team of health care professionals deliver palliative care. We strive to work with teams within the hospital and in communities throughout B.C. to ensure that children and their families get the best care possible.
