Our Mission
It
was through our experience, and Liam's guidance, that we realized a
change in pediatric healthcare needed to occur. It was not until Liam
was in his final stage of life, that the term "Palliative Care" was
introduced to us. In learning what palliative care means, we realized
the necessity of implementing a palliative care approach at the onset
of diagnosis. Liam's Room will provide a resource and
comfortable place for families who have a child facing a chronic,
potentially life-limiting, illness.
Our Purpose
It
is because of Liam's way of weaving himself into our hearts, and
showing us a love we never knew could exist, that we decided to create
Liam's Room. It was Liam's spirit, tenacity and his ability to speak
volumes through his beautiful blue eyes, that helped guide us through.
We often wondered, why us?, but now we know that Liam was brought to us
in order for us to leave this legacy for him.
Liam's Room Inc.
was established in memory of Liam H. McNamara, to act as a resource for
families with children who are battling chronic or potentially life
limiting conditions. We hope that those who are walking along the same
path find comfort and support from the services provided by Liam's Room.
It
was because of the fragmented care that we experienced, that we came to
hear the term palliative care. Unfortunately, we did now know that this
type of care existed until Liam was in the final stage of life. It is
through our contact with Palliative Care professionals, that we have
come to learn of the importance of palliative care, and its
implementation at the beginning of the journey, in partnership with all
medical disciplines needed.
Liam's Room recognizes the necessity
of implementing a palliative care approach at the onset of diagnosis,
to fully support the family in their decisions and treatment choices.
We recognize that each family is unique in their needs, beliefs and
values.
Our Goals
*
To provide a peaceful, comfortable, home like setting (Liam's Room) for
families to spend their most challenging & loving moments together
with their child, during inpatient treatment, respite, or end of life
care
* To provide pediatric (infant to age 18) palliative care
and respite services to families who are faced with a child battling a
chronic or potentially life limiting condition
* To ensure that
families have access to materials and resources to assist them in the
decision making process of their childs care, incorporating physical,
psychological, and spiritual components
*To increase awareness
and educate the medical community on the necessity of pediatric
palliative care as a critical component to treatment at the onset of
diagnosis
* To provide funding for professional education and training on pediatric palliative care
