Florida’s First Pediatric Hospice Haven

A groundbreaking new pediatric hospice center has opened in Florida, offering families facing complex medical journeys a compassionate, joyful haven designed specifically for children and their caregivers. Featuring a tree-shaped fireplace and therapeutic play areas, the Dorion Family Pediatric Center brings together all pediatric services under one roof — the first of its kind in the state. Funded by a $10 million campaign honoring co-founder Dottie Dorion, the center not only provides vital care but also fosters connection and comfort, serving as a national model for compassionate pediatric palliative care. Even the ribbon-cutting was touched by magic — a butterfly landed on Jacobo Lopez’s shoulder, reminding him of his late sister, as he shared his personal connection to the space.
