About this organization
Mission
Founded in 2004, George Mark Children's House (George Mark) is the first freestanding, independent pediatric palliative care facility in the United States. George Mark is providing cutting-edge, interdisciplinary medical and psychosocial services to children and young adults facing life-limiting illness and their families, in a warm, inclusive, home-like setting. The mission of George Mark Children's House is to provide the highest quality of care and to minimize suffering by addressing the physical, emotional and psychosocial needs of the entire family. George Mark serves all medically eligible children regardless of geographical location. The majority of our patients are from California, with many residing in the San Francisco Bay Area.
About
We bridge the gap between hospital and home, offering safe, top-notch medical care yet in the comfort and warmth of a home-like setting for patients who do not need the resources of a full childrens hospital. We offer three services: transitional carefor children and young adults who have been in an acute care hospital setting and still need some medical care, but not of an acute nature, before they transition to being cared for at home; end of life care, where a patients family can visit and sometimes stay in a family suite and surround their child or young adult with needed love and support; and respite carefor children and young adults, usually with developmental disabilities who have been referred by State run Regional Medical Centers where we provide high quality medical care and appropriate activities while providing parents and families with a short break from their nonstop care at home.
