Partners in Care

Hope participates in Partners in Care: Together for Kids (PIC-TFK), a program sponsored by the Agency for Health Care Administration, Department of Health (Children’s Medical Services Network), and Florida Hospices and Palliative Care. The program enables children with potentially life-limiting conditions and their families to access a supporting system of care that is continuous, compassionate, comprehensive, family centered and culturally sensitive from the point of diagnosis, with hope for a cure, through the provision of end-of-life care if needed.

Through PIC-TFK, children can benefit from Hope’s palliative (comfort) care services while still receiving care and services from other providers. Hope provides medical, emotional, spiritual and practical support to children and their families. Services include pain control and symptom management, in-home care, counseling, expressive therapies and respite care.
