Montreal Children’s Hospital patients diagnosed with serious illnesses such as certain forms of cancer, neurological degenerative diseases, severe cerebral palsy, and many other rare types of genetic diseases can benefit from our services. Other children who have had complications from prematurity, or who have spent extended periods of time in the neonatal (NICU) or pediatric intensive care units (PICU) can also benefit.
We also see parents who have found out they are carrying a baby with a potentially life-threatening disease. We can help with decision-making and create customized care plans for when the baby is born.
