When it’s your child—when it seems like the world has stopped—we’re here. Anchors Programs for Children exists for one reason: to support children and families facing a potentially life-limiting illness. Whether offering a child the comfort of a pediatric nurse, supporting a family’s unique needs, or extending emotional support to loved ones, we never stop finding ways to care. Following a nonprofit mission to serve all no matter what, we’re more than a symbol of support. We’re an anchor when it’s needed most.

Pediatric Hospice Program
Whether the need is physical, spiritual or emotional, our pediatric-trained staff is prepared to help. Made up of experienced physicians, RNs, social workers, spiritual care advisors, and home health aides, our team works closely with your child’s current doctors, serving your needs at home or in the hospital.
Perinatal Program
When it’s hardest, we’re here. Anchors Perinatal Program is by your side, bringing industry-leading care and services to parents whose unborn child may be facing a life-threatening or life-limiting condition. Led by a trained pediatric social worker, we work closely with your entire family and current care team to make sure you’re getting the support you need.
Compass Support Services
For children who face a potentially life-limiting illness, we offer Compass Support Services. This program gives families a wide range of support services while coping with life’s day-to-day challenges. Our pediatric social workers will work directly with your current medical team and treatment plan.
