Pediatric hospice care is more costly to provide than adult hospice care due to the higher cost of medications, specialized pediatric equipment and supplies and advanced clinical and grief support.  These necessary expenditures create a gap between reimbursement for services and the actual cost to provide care.  Arbor Hospice is committed to providing excellent care to this vulnerable population, and support to their families, by supplementing reimbursements with donated resources to ensure that these children and their families receive the care they need, at the time they need it and for as long as it is needed.
