PEDIATRIC PALLIATIVE & CONCURRENT CARE

Summary

The memorial urges the state’s Health Care Authority to develop a Medicaid amendment that provides coordinated, family‑centered palliative services for children with serious or life‑limiting illnesses. It would let families receive pain, symptom, psychosocial and 24‑hour nursing support without having to choose hospice. The goal is to reduce hospitalizations, ease family stress, and improve quality of life for seriously ill children.
