The Bridges Pediatric Palliative Care team is a long-standing and well-integrated component of the outstanding clinical care provided at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. Composed of four physicians (at varying levels of effort), a nurse practitioner, a nurse coordinator, social worker, chaplain, and art therapist, the Bridges team is the only interprofessional pediatric palliative care team in the state of Oregon. As such, in addition to a robust inpatient presence, we either manage or co-manage a high percentage of pediatric hospice patients throughout the state, partnering with local hospice agencies to empower them to care for children as well as adults. We are active throughout the hospital as well as for outpatients receiving palliative care, including core integration into the fetal therapy program (which now includes fetal surgery).
In terms of education and training, our pediatric palliative care fellow is part of an interprofessional fellowship program along with two adult palliative care physician fellows, as well as fellows in social work, spiritual care, and psychology. We are also fortunate to have every pediatric intern rotate with us, as well as fellows from pediatric oncology, PICU, NICU, and adult palliative care, as well as nurse practitioner and social work fellows.
