The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Friday unveiled a pilot program to help families with seriously ill children, bolstered by a $2.4-million, five-year grant from the federal government.
The “Navigator” Program is intended to provide provide time, emotional support and information to affected families and children.
It will largely focus on creating resources to grant parents easier access to government programs and access to useful information as their child enters different stages of life.
The goal, according to CHEO, is to provide time, emotional support and information to affected families and children.
The program will provide the three most precious commodities to families of complex care children: time, emotional support and information.
“As a result, parents will improve their well-being, be able to return to work or stay at work and maintain the well-being of their whole family,” CHEO said in a news release.
“This innovative pilot really takes a family-centered approach to helping those whose children have the most complex medical challenges —making a real difference in their lives,” said Alex Munter, president and CEO of CHEO. “This is a great example of the community rallying together to help parents.”
According to CHEO, more than 800 “high care need children,” who are dependent on technology and are medically fragile, live in the Champlain Local Health Integration Network area, which includes Lanark, Renfrew, Prescott and Russell, Ottawa and Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry.
The investment, according to Employment and Social Development Canada, aims to help improve the lives of at least 150 families with chronically ill children over the next five years.
