Sometimes it’s just a random act of kindness for a stranger. Whatever it looks like for you and for your baby, remember you are not alone in this journey. Your child is loved. Your child is remembered. Your child is special.” Summer Dougherty, Small Baby Coordinator, NICU Learn More “Unfortunately, after a terrible accident, it took months for my cousin to receive mental health services that would assist him with his new day-to-day struggles. Watching a loved one go through such a difficult time made me realize that I wanted to help those who were experiencing similar situations. My cousins’ story provides me with the motivation to mentally meet patients and families where they are currently at and give them the best care that would be most beneficial at that time.” Chelsea Scott, TeleCrisis Psychiatric Clinician, Behavioral Health Learn More “I discovered my passion for pediatric palliative care during my Master’s program – it had a sub-specialty that taught the importance of better understanding families of children who have a life-threatening or chronic illness and what that means for them. So many of them have a story to tell and their experiences not only shape how they make decisions but also how they care for their children. It’s important for families to get the opportunity to share that with providers here. If we can help relieve some of the burden on families and act as a liaison… to help with decision-making with respect to what’s important to a family, then I feel like we’ve done our job. That’s the heart of palliative care for me.” Alice, APRN, Advanced Illness Management (AIM) Learn More Join the Conversation!
