North Yalobusha Hospice & Palliative Care, Inc. is here to partner with you in determining what quality means to your family and to help navigate a complex healthcare system.

Pediatric palliative care (referred to as supportive care) is not hospice care. It is a consultation-coordination of care model. It should be offered at the time of diagnosis and continued throughout the care with a community provider. Palliative care is what parents and families and providers are looking for. North Yalobusha Hospice & Palliative Care, Inc. is ready to partner together within the continuum, enhancing the complex care model.

Pediatric comfort care (hospice care) is for children facing a life-limiting illness who have a life expectancy of months, not years. Children that are under the age of 21 on the Medicaid benefit can receive comfort care while not losing hope, and continue with aggressive and curative care. A federal mandate changed the options and improved quality of life for families. The federal law is known as “concurrent care”. We have experience in building a best practice in concurrent care.
