Children's National Hospital Program
About This Program
Our hospice and palliative care program (HPM), known as PANDA, provides hospital and regional based care for children throughout the region. We are consultants to the Alliance Kids group of regional HPM care for children. We provide virtual interdisciplinary team rounds taking via telehealth with oversight of our patients and teams at home. We have warm, collegial partnerships with NIH and Washington Hospital Centers palliative care programs, training their adult fellows in pediatric care.
