How Can We Help?

CHI's mission is creating public awareness of the needs of children with life-threatening conditions, the issues facing their families, and what children's hospice care can do to meet those needs. CHI seeks to include hospice perspectives in all areas of pediatric care and education and to include children in existing and developing hospice, palliative and home care programs. CHI offers education, training and technical assistance to the health care professionals caring for this special patient population.
