Edmarc provides family-centered home health and hospice for children with life-threatening illnesses through nursing, social, bereavement, and volunteer support. Their goal is to ease the gravity of pediatric illness and death and provide care for the patient and family as a whole. Families are never billed for any support they receive because of generous community support. Edmarc can provide quality care, and parents are able to focus on their children and families while not having to worry about another bill. This allows Edmarc staff to enter homes and unburden a family while providing hope for the journey.
