When your child has been diagnosed with a serious or chronic medical condition, managing the symptoms and the side effects of treatment are part of everyday life. This is true for your child as well as your entire family.
Children who have serious medical conditions such as genetic conditions, prematurity, neurologic disorders, cancer, heart disease, and lung conditions often deal with pain and stress along with the physical effects of their conditions. We know that as a parent, you want your child to enjoy life despite these challenges. Palliative care services that comfort and support your child and family during medical treatment are provided by Sala Institute for Child and Family Centered Care.
