“This new partnership gives families more flexibility and options when deciding on care for their children,” said Julie Brewer, executive director at George Mark Children’s House. “The relationship with Comfort for Kids will help both organizations grow and enhance the services our communities have come to expect from us.”
Both nonprofit organizations are dedicated to providing medical, emotional, spiritual, and psychosocial support to children with life-limiting illnesses and their families regardless of a family’s ability to pay. The new model will give families the option of caring for their child at the end of his or her life in their own home or at George Mark Children’s House, with the same team of caregivers.
“In this current economy, it is imperative that we collaborate with other health care providers in order to utilize our resources most efficiently,” said Cindy Hatton, CEO of Hospice of the East Bay. “By joining forces with George Mark Children’s House, we will be able to continue to provide comprehensive end-of-life care that supports children and families in our communities.”
