National Children’s Hospice Palliative Care Day

National Children’s Hospice Palliative Care Day

Today, we shine a light on the vital role of pediatric hospice palliative care, care that supports not just children facing life-limiting conditions, but their families, too.

Palliative care for children is holistic. It helps with symptom management, emotional & spiritual support, memory-making, and quality of life, so that every day counts, no matter how many there may be.

This day is observed every year on the second Thursday in October.

Let’s come together to:

• Raise awareness of children’s hospice palliative care and its reach
• Advocate for better access across provinces and territories
• Share stories of hope, strength, and connection
• Support families and caregivers in their journey

Use and share the hashtags: #MakeEveryDayCount and #HPCForChildren to amplify this message.
