 The Coalition is excited to announce the launch of the inaugural edition of the National Pediatric Palliative Care Task Force's quarterly newsletter, PPC NOW!
The Task Force was created with the goal to improve equitable access to high-quality pediatric palliative care for everyone through the unique collaboration of experts from all 13 organizational Members represented in the Coalition plus additional representatives from key stakeholder organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Psychological Association and the Association of Child Life Professionals. One key element from the Task Force’s inception was the requirement to also have parent representatives serve as Task Force Members.
The Task Force is led by Co-Chairs, Cheryl Thaxton, DNP (HPNA) and Rachel Thienprayoon, MD (PCQC) and staffed by Project Director, Devon Dabbs. (peds@nationalcoalitionhpc.org)

The Task Force is focused on three key priority areas and established three workgroups to implement action plans: 1) Payment & Finance, 2) Needs Assessment, and 3) Knowledge & Awareness. Over the next year, the Task Force will assess, initiate, and promote critical actions in these three domains to enhance and increase children’s access to high-quality pediatric palliative care services.
The Coalition expresses its deepest gratitude to the Cameron and Hayden Lord Foundation and the Cambia Health Foundation for funding this important initiative. Please go ahead and subscribe if you would like to receive the next quarterly edition of PPC NOW!
