Treatments and Services
The Hand in Hand Palliative Care team is a multidisciplinary team that provides both medical and non-medical methods to care for a child. While medication might be the best approach in some cases, integrative therapies such as massage therapy, healing touch or music therapy may be preferred in others. Often, using medication and integrative therapies together is the preferred treatment approach.
Children’s offers a variety of inpatient services and support options to help with decision making and coping with emotional challenges.
Integrative Support Therapies
Our team also provides different integrative support therapies to help relieve symptoms caused by the child’s illness or treatment. These therapies can improve the child’s life quality and help them express their thoughts and emotions.
