Activities or mission (Part I)

As the first free-standing pediatric palliative care center in the United States, George Mark Childrens House offers comprehensive, compassionate, life-affirming care to children facing a life- limiting diagnosis. Services are available to medically (continued Page 2)

  • 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 care for 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 care for 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.

    Expenses $6,094,786

  • We make a difference in the lives of these children and young adults as well as in the lives of their families, at less cost than that of an acute care hospital facility.OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF CARE AND TO MINIMIZE SUFFERING BYADDRESSING THE PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL AND PSYCHOSOCIAL NEEDS OF THE ENTIREFAMILY. IN DOING SO, WE STRIVE TO ACHIEVE THE BEST QUALITY OF LIFE POSSIBLE FROM THEMOMENT OF ADMISSION ONWARD, THROUGH STRONG COLLABORATION BETWEEN FAMILIES, THE CHILD'S PHYSICIAN(S), AND OUR INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
