Our Commitment to Quality Care
The Pediatric Palliative Care Team is available for both inpatient consultations and outpatient clinic visits. During a consult, we take time to understand:
- Your child’s symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment plan
- Your family’s goals and values
- Any emotional, psychological, or spiritual concerns you’d like to address
- How we can coordinate care and help communicate with your primary team
The care you receive is guided by your priorities, not just your child’s diagnosis. From easing symptoms to helping you make informed choices, we’re here to walk with you through every step.
Certified Excellence in New Jersey
Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital is Joint Commission-certified in pediatric palliative care, reflecting our commitment to high standards, advanced team training, and a formal process that ensures seamless coordination and communication across all providers involved in your child’s care.
