There
exists a principle on which rests the human right to be free of pain and
the corresponding obligation of health-care professionals to honor it.
All patients are vulnerable, but none is more vulnerable than the
patient in severe pain. The measure of medicine in general and of a
physician in particular is ultimately their respect for the patient's
right to be free of pain."
Freedom From Pain: A Matter of Rights?
T. Patrick Hill, M.A. Ca. Invest., 12 (4), 1994
Why We Are Here
Caring for a dying child requires many unique skills, a
well-coordinated team, and, above all, deep compassion for the child and
family. Our lives have been greatly enriched by the children who have
trusted us to care for them at the end of their life here on earth. This
experience is, indeed, the founding force behind the birth of the Jason
Program. We believe deeply that no dying child needs to suffer, that no
person needs to feel abandoned, and that no regrets persist but love
lives forever. ---There is
always Hope
