Information for Grieving Families

Johns Hopkins Children's Center is committed to providing the highest standards of care to patients and families. Our Pediatric Palliative Care Team strives to achieve the best possible quality of life for the child and family. When death is inevitable, we support the child and family through the dying process and in bereavement.
