About the Division:

The Pediatric Palliative Care Team at Lurie Children's provides support to patients and families faced with potentially life-limiting conditions, regardless of stage or prognosis.

We help patients and families work with the clinical team to align their values and goals with the chosen medical therapies.

We also help address any hopes, worries, or troubling symptoms to make sure that every day is as good as possible.

Palliative care services for patient-families include:

  • Improving the management of pain and other symptoms.
  • Maximizing quality of life for the patient and family.
  • Advocating for effective communication between the patient, family, and healthcare team.
  • Assisting patients and families in decision-making that is reflective of their values and preferences.

  • Coordinating care between the hospital and home-based hospice or palliative care services.

We are committed to supporting faculty to work in an increasingly diverse society by promoting equity and justice for all individuals, actively working to eliminate barriers and obstacles created by institutional discrimination.

Lurie Children's is located on the traditional homelands of the people of the Council of Three Fires, the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Odawa as well as the Menominee, Miami, and Ho-Chunk nations.

We acknowledge and honor the original people of the land upon which Northwestern University stands, and the Native people who remain on this land today.
