Our 2026 Spring Appeal

The following is a message from Dr. Stephanie Patel, Care Dimensions President and CEO, written as part of our 2026 spring appeal campaign. 

Childhood should be filled with laughter, learning, and possibility.

But for some children in our community, it also includes complex hospital visits, complex diagnoses, and conversations no family is ever prepared to have.

At Care Dimensions, we care for seriously ill children through our pediatric hospice and palliative care programs, and we provide specialized grief support for children who have lost someone they love. Our team focuses on comfort, pain relief, emotional support, and helping families create meaningful moments, especially in the midst of uncertainty.

Every counseling session, every home visit, every touch of comfort is made possible by the generosity of people like you.

Your gift today helps ensure:

• A child's pain is carefully managed, focusing on comfort and quality of life
• A parent has guidance and support during overwhelming moments
• A grieving child has a safe, compassionate space to talk and heal

When a child is dealing with a serious illness, every moment — whether their own or a family member's — matters. With your support, those moments can be filled with comfort, dignity, and love.

Will you consider making a gift today to help bring care and comfort to children and families during their most challenging times?

Your compassion can make a profound difference for a child and a family facing the unimaginable.

With gratitude,

Stephanie Patel, MD, MBA, FAAHPM, HMDC
President and CEO

P.S. The need for pediatric care and grief support continues to grow. Your gift today helps ensure Care Dimensions can be there for every patient and family who needs compassionate care, including children facing serious life-limiting illness and loss.
