The Butterfly Program cares for our most vulnerable patients – children aged 18 years or younger. As the longest-serving, nonprofit pediatric hospice center in the greater Houston area, the devotion to the child and medical care provided by our specialized pediatrics care team is unmatched.

Caring for children is not a one-size-fits-all scenario because their growth and development is ever-changing. Our dedicated team is skilled at providing the appropriate level of care for each child’s needs.

Not only does our interdisciplinary team provide specialized care for the children, they are equipped to communicate with the patient’s family and help manage expectations for everyone involved.

If your family finds themselves in need or if we can answer any questions about our Butterfly Program, please don’t hesitate to let us know. 713-HOSPICE (713-467-7423)
