We exist simply because children have touched our hearts.
We believe they should be listened to and cared for.


To the Jason Program Community --

As springtime returns to Maine, we wish to invite you to our Spring 2004 conference: New England Conference for Pediatric Hospice and Palliative Care
Family-Centered Care: Beyond Talking the Talk. It will take place on May 20-22, at
The Colony Hotel, Kennebunkport, Maine. We are fortunate to have several leaders in the field of pediatric palliative care - Drs. Javier Kane and Kate Faulkner, and Mr. David Browning from the Initiative for Pediatric Palliative Care. You can view the full agenda here. Rallying Points will present a special seminar, "one child at a time… Creating Community Partnerships for Pediatric Palliative Care" on Thursday, May 20, from 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Information about this offering is available here.  Discounted room rates are available at The Colony Hotel in Kennebunkport until April 20. You can download a registration brochure, or view all the details about this conference here.
While information is always added to our site, we want to single out the new website for the Grahamtastic Connection. This program aims to provide free computers and internet access to seriously ill children, offering them contact with friends, family, and information while they are confined indoors. The program's founder, Leslie Morissette, created this effort in memory of her son, Graham, who died of leukemia. Please view our page, which contains a link to the program's website, a brief tribute to Graham, and further information.


As always, on behalf of the children, we thank you for your interest and caring.

Sincerely,
