Children's Hospice International

Children's Hospice International (CHI) is a non-profit organization founded in 1983 to support children with life-threatening conditions and their families. The organization is best known for pioneering the Program for All-Inclusive Care for Children (PACC), which integrates curative and palliative care rather than requiring families to choose between the two. CHI provides advocacy, education, and resources to healthcare professionals and families to improve the quality of life for terminally ill children. Their efforts have led to significant legislative changes in the United States, including provisions in the Affordable Care Act that ensure better access to hospice services for pediatric patients.
