Madison Clinic

The Madison Clinic serves children and families who are living with progressive, life-threatening diseases. Life threatening diseases are those conditions that may or may not have a possibility for cure, but where survival until full adulthood is a serious challenge. These children often require advanced symptom management.


The program


The Madison Clinic is a new program jointly provided by BC Children’s Hospital & Sunny Hill Health Centre and Canuck Place Children’s Hospice. This clinic offers outpatient care for children and families living with progressive, life-threatening diseases. It is the outpatient arm of the Advanced Symptom and Palliative Care Service.


Madison Clinic operates twice monthly on Monday mornings in the Ambulatory Care Building.

 

What we do


Madison Clinic provides:

  • Assessment and management of symptoms associated with life-threatening diseases
  • Parent education and support
  • Information about symptoms, trajectory, and advanced directives
  • Outpatient follow-up for children on the Canuck Place program
  • Inpatient consultation
  • Telephone follow up
  • Coordination with other healthcare professionals

There is no requirement that families be part of the Canuck Place program in order to be seen in clinic.

 

Health care team


The Madison Clinic is staffed by physicians and nurses with advanced skills in symptom management. They are all members of the Canuck Place team and BC Children’s Hospital & Sunny Hill Health Centre.
