Greetings,
Hello to our new members from the Pediatric Care Coordination: Community of Practice! We hope this message finds you well as we welcome the spring season. We are grateful to have virtually connected with some of you during our recent webinar on Promoting Oral Health for Children with Special Health Care Needs. For those who missed it, the recording is available for viewing here.
We also want to express our heartfelt appreciation to those who took the time to fill out our Community of Care Survey. Your valuable feedback will enable us to tailor our network to better meet your needs.
As much as we enjoy connecting through webinars and surveys, we are thrilled to announce the launch of six in-person regional meetings in April and May. We invite you to register and join us for these exciting events. Please read on for more details on how to register.

2023 Pediatric Palliative Care Webinar Series
Cost: $10 - $40
There continues to be significant data highlighting the workforce shortage in pediatric palliative care. As the number of children with chronic, complex and life-limiting illness continues to increase, the training needs of physicians and healthcare teams has increased as well. Many adult providers, family practitioners, and smaller hospice teams have identified training as the leading barrier to their ability to provide end-of-life care to children. Larger systems with new or established pediatric palliative care (PPC) teams often struggle to find time for education or funding to support professional development.
A team from Pennsylvania’s Pediatric Palliative Care Coalition (PPCC), Greater Illinois Pediatric Palliative Care Coalition (GIPPCC), Children’s Hospice & Palliative Care Coalition of California (CHPCC), and the CSU Shiley Haynes Institute for Palliative Care have collaborated to offer the PPC Webinar Series to raise the visibility of pediatric palliative care and to build clinicians’ competencies and confidence in providing care to children.
