National Children’s Hospice Palliative Care Day – October 10, 2024

MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT 

Every child deserves a full, happy life filled with love. How can we make sure that happens for children with a serious illness? That’s where children’s hospice palliative care teams come in. That’s why this annual campaign is co-hosted by Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association (CHPCA) and the Canadian Network of Palliative Care for Children (CNPCC), every year on the second Thursday of October.

This National Children’s Palliative Care Day, celebrate how palliative care helps children with serious illnesses and their families Make Every Day Count! This day is a call to action. It’s time to recognize that children’s hospice palliative care is not just a specialty. It is a shared responsibility across healthcare and communities to help children and families Make Every Day Count.

National Children’s Hospice Palliative Care Day raises awareness about the importance of children’s hospice palliative care and how it improves the quality of living and dying for children with serious illnesses and their families.
