Greater Illinois Pediatric Palliative Care Coalition

GIPPCC/Greater Illinois Pediatric Palliative Care Coalition, a state-wide coalition of fabulous people with a tremendous mission: to optimize the quality of life for every child coping with serious illness, their families, and the teams that care for them. 

GIPPCC members include hospital systems, hospices agencies, community organizations,  healthcare providers and heroic families dedicated to supporting children and family members in their emotional journey from diagnosis through treatment and into bereavement care. 

GIPPCC impacts policy, supports families, provides education, engages in research, and develops best practices guidelines to improve care and raise awareness about the unique needs of sick children.  

While we can not change a prognosis, we can change how we care for children and their families.
