Programa de hospicio pediátrico Little Doves

Children represent a family’s hope for the future. When a diagnosis of a life-limiting illness is given for a child, it often seems as if nothing makes sense. Community Healthcare of Texas recognizes this as one of the most difficult journeys a family can face.

Little Doves Pediatric Hospice Program is a specialized children’s hospice providing care and support for children and families in the DFW and Waco areas since 1996. We partner with pediatric medical centers and have established relationships with area specialists. Little Doves serves pediatric patients from pre-birth to early adulthood challenged in life by cancer, neurological disorders, diseases of the heart and lungs, neonatal diseases, and congenital abnormalities. Insurance companies and Medicaid typically cover services.

Nuestro equipo interdisciplinario está formado por médicos, enfermeras, trabajadores sociales, coordinadores de atención espiritual, auxiliares de enfermería y voluntarios. Nuestro equipo se asociará con su pediatra, especialistas, terapeutas y otros para ofrecerle un apoyo completo en todas las áreas. Nuestro equipo realizará visitas programadas y estará disponible las 24 horas del día para responder a sus necesidades.

Little Doves cubre el equipo médico, los suministros y los medicamentos relacionados con el diagnóstico de su hijo. Se anima a los niños a que continúen con sus actividades normales, como ir al colegio, salir de excursión con la familia y participar en actividades con los amigos. Nuestro objetivo es aliviar la carga que supone la gestión de una enfermedad, permitiéndole al mismo tiempo seguir creando recuerdos en familia.

We know there’s no place like home, especially for children. Little Doves provides support and education to help you care for your child in the comfortable and familiar surroundings of home. If necessary, a more intensive level of care may be initiated to provide prompt relief of acute pain and other symptoms. In addition to expert medical care for your child, we offer emotional and spiritual support for the entire family.
