Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota has one of the largest pediatric pain and palliative care programs in North America, providing care for children at home, in the hospital and in clinics.
Relieving the pain and suffering of a child is crucial for the patient and the entire family. Our pain and palliative team is devoted to improving the quality of life for children who come to us. Our program utilizes a combination of state-of-the-art pharmacology, physical therapy, and integrative therapies such as massage, hypnosis, and acupuncture.
