Pediatric care:
We set the standard of care for infants, children and young adults with advanced illnesses. Hope's Friends is not necessarily a program for dying children, our program does not give up hope. On the contrary, it is focused on providing hope, support and quality of life. Our goal is to help young patients and their families live every day as fully as possible while remaining in their home environment. By enabling young patients to remain in their home, Hope's Friends helps to strengthen the family to improve the quality and quantity of their time together. Children usually receive all of their care in the home where typically feel the most comfort, security and control.
