Connecticut Hospice Pediatric Program

Connecticut Hospice provides specialized hospice and palliative care services for children and families facing serious illnesses. They offer both inpatient care at their waterfront hospital in Branford and home-based care throughout Connecticut. Their "Stand by Me" palliative care program helps manage pain and symptoms while families navigate treatment decisions.

The hospice provides comprehensive support including bereavement counseling, respite care, pastoral and spiritual care, and arts therapy programs. As America's first hospice and the only hospice accredited by the Joint Commission, they bring decades of expertise to pediatric end-of-life care. Their services are covered by Medicare and Medicaid, and as a nonprofit, they work to ensure no family is turned away due to financial barriers.
