When you think of hospice, very rarely do you associate this term with children. At this moment there
are NO hospice programs in the DFW area or the United States with a free-standing facility or programs
focused specifically on the needs of children. This void leaves parents and their families facing this
situation with two options, admit their child to an adult hospice facility or take their child home with
limited access to medical staff and care, putting the responsibility of the child’s care on the family.

INSPIRE

Personal experience and a passion for serving others is the driving force behind this organization. Our
goal is to serve families in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area who have a child that has been referred to
hospice, by keeping families together during this critical time. We will offer a free standing state of the
art medical facility and equipment along with a highly trained medical staff and administration.
Partnering with area hospitals, community organizations and private donations we will offer support to
the entire family with private family suites at little to no cost to the family, end of life support services
and grief counseling for parents, siblings and extended family, recreational activities, accredited
education programs and support for transitions to home based care, if requested. For more
information, please visit us online at www.i-heartyou.com.
