NHPCO members may download “The Standards for Pediatric Palliative and Hospice Care” free of charge in PDF.

Non-members may purchase the standards from NHPCO’s Marketplace online or by calling the Marketplace at 1-800-646-6460.

The Pediatric Standards do not stand alone, but are designed to supplement the NHPCO Standards and set clinical and organizational precedence for hospice and palliative care programs providing care to infants, children, adolescents, and their families in the home, hospital, and long-term care and respite facilities. Members may access the hospice standards via the Quality Partners section of NHPCO’s Web site.
