Abstract
Each year, 500,000 children in the United States cope with life-threatening illness. These children and their families require comprehensive, compassionate, and developmentally appropriate palliative care. This review article discusses pediatric palliative care, which should intersect with the aims of curing and healing and become instrumental for improving quality of life.Keywords
