Closing the Gap: Preparing Adult Hospice Teams for Pediatric Patients

In many parts of the country, adult hospice is the only option available to seriously ill pediatric patients and their families, yet many adult hospice teams are hesitant to accept them, unsure their staff have the right training or resources to provide appropriate care. This webinar brings together an interdisciplinary panel to share best practices and practical considerations for caring for pediatric patients within primarily adult hospice organizations.

Panelists will cover concurrent care basics, nursing approaches that help fill gaps left by limited pediatric-specific resources (such as Child Life), spiritual care considerations, and how social work support translates across pediatric and adult populations.
