Children's Hospital Foundation

Pediatric Palliative Care Education for Social Workers

Children's Hospital will implement a program to educate and organize networks of providers to improve palliative care for children. Children's Hospital's Palliative Care Consulting Service will develop a curriculum to educate social workers and other professionals about palliative care, communication, ethics, organizational change, and leadership. Educational conferences will lead to increased competency of social workers in the delivery of palliative care, increased ability of social workers to initiate palliative care and coordinate care for children with life-limiting conditions, and as a result, an increased number of children benefiting from palliative care. The program dovetails with Children's Hospital's mission to provide education to healthcare professionals, to advocate for children, and to improve the health and well-being of children.
