Newsletter, April 27, 2002
We exist simply because children have
touched our hearts.
We believe they should be listened to and cared for.
To the Jason Program Community --
We are pleased to
bring you finalized plans for our June Conference. Entitled, "New
England Conference on Pediatric Hospice - Pediatric Hospice: The Time
Has Come", this year's session is presented in alliance with the
University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine. Their help
has contributed greatly in many ways, supporting three nationally
recognized experts in the field of pediatric palliative care. Dr. Bruce
Himelstein will present the keynote speech, "Pediatric Hospice and
Palliative Care", Dr. Suzanne Toce will offer a plenary on
"Neonatal Pain Control" and a session on "Ethical and Legal
Issues in High Risk Newborns", and Ms. Gerry Haynes will offer a
plenary on "Decision Making in Pediatric Palliative Care: Responding
to Dilemmas, Planning for Care – not Crisis". In addition, the
concurrent sessions offer a breath of information useful to all those
interested in the field of pediatric hospice care. You can find all the
necessary information regarding this conference on our
