Mission Statement
The mission of Project Joy and Hope is to promote physical and psychological care for children with life-limiting illness, and their families, through community awareness, education, program development, and resource development.
Our mission will be achieved by assisting the Texas health care community in providing comprehensive palliative and supportive care to children in the terminal stage of illness; by educating parents, teachers, and the medical community regarding end of life care; by assisting communities in Texas in developing pediatric end of life care programs; and by providing financial assistance for specific pediatric hospice services.
VISION
- To share the message that hospice is a hopeful lifestyle
- To express the need for quality palliative care at end of life for children through a specific program designed to meet their special needs.
- To educate the classroom teacher about issues of life and loss transition, equipping the teacher to better assist students with those special needs
- To improve parent understanding of childhood, adolescent, and adult grief and loss issues
- To encourage the medical community to include palliative and supportive care when treating patients with life-limiting illness
- To assist the major cities in Texas in developing quality pediatric end of life care and bereavement services
- To provide financial assistance for special services for children's hospice programs
