Brochure Highlights the Value of Palliative Care for Children Living with Serious Illnessess

A new brochure from the National Institute of Nursing Research provides information about pediatric palliative care — a type of care that can reduce a child’s pain, help manage other distressing symptoms, and provide important emotional support to the child and family throughout the course of an illness. The brochure answers questions that parents and families may have about pediatric palliative care.   http://www.nih.gov/news/health/jul2015/ninr-13.htm
