Hospice For Children Opens In Maryland

A hospice for children, said to be the first of its kind in the country, has opened in Baltimore, Maryland.   Dr. Bob's Place was founded on the belief that terminally ill children should have a warm, caring, and loving place to die.

Dr. Bob's Place  is  special, because it is specifically tailored to meet the needs of children and their families.

“What’s so unique about them [children] compared to adults is that they don’t want to be in bed.  They want to be in the playroom; they want to watch a movie; they want to sit and have popcorn with Mom and Dad and what we have to do is help them get comfortable enough and provide enough supportive care so they can do those things,” Will said.
