Pediatric Palliative Care Network

The Pediatric Palliative Care Network serves the unmet physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of children in Massachusetts with life-limiting illnesses. Our services are provided at no cost to children 18 years old or younger who have a life-limiting illness.

Eleven licensed hospices throughout the state — all skilled in pediatric palliative care — are part of the network.
