Establishes pediatric palliative care centers for individuals under 21 with chronic, complex, life-threatening illnesses.
The "pediatric palliative care act" establishes pediatric palliative care centers to provide palliative care to individuals under twenty-one years of age who have been diagnosed with a chronic, complex, life-threatening illness that is expected to shorten their life expectancy and is not expected to survive past twenty-one years of age. The act amends the public health law to create a special classification for residential care facilities that serve as pediatric palliative care centers, exempting them from certain requirements.
