Edmarc Hospice for Children: Providing Compassionate Care to Children with Life-Threatening Illnesses
Edmarc Hospice for Children is a non-profit organization that has been providing pediatric home health and hospice services to children with life-threatening illnesses in Hampton Roads since 1978. The organization was founded by a group of concerned citizens who recognized the need for specialized care for children facing serious illnesses. Today, Edmarc Hospice for Children continues to provide compassionate care and support to families in need.
At Edmarc Hospice for Children, we understand that caring for a child with a life-threatening illness can be overwhelming and emotionally draining. That's why we offer comprehensive services designed to meet the unique needs of each family we serve. Our team of experienced professionals includes nurses, social workers, chaplains, and volunteers who work together to provide physical, emotional, and spiritual support.
Our pediatric home health program provides skilled nursing care in the comfort of the child's own home. We work closely with families to develop individualized care plans that address their specific needs. Our nurses are trained in pain management techniques and symptom control strategies that help alleviate discomfort associated with serious illnesses.
In addition to our home health program, we also offer hospice services designed specifically for children. Our hospice team provides end-of-life care that focuses on comfort measures rather than curative treatments. We work closely with families during this difficult time to ensure their child's final days are spent surrounded by love and compassion.
At Edmarc Hospice for Children, we believe that every child deserves access to high-quality healthcare regardless of their ability to pay. That's why our services are provided at no cost to families thanks in part to generous donations from individuals and organizations throughout Hampton Roads.
We also offer bereavement support services designed specifically for families who have lost a child due to illness or injury. Our grief counselors provide individual counseling as well as group sessions where families can connect with others who have experienced similar losses.
In conclusion, Edmarc Hospice for Children is an essential resource within the Hampton Roads community providing compassionate care and support when it is needed most - during times of crisis when parents must face unimaginable challenges while caring tirelessly around-the-clock so they can make sure their sick or dying children receive all necessary medical attention without leaving them alone even once!
