The Pediatric Bereavement Committee
Mission: To provide resources, education and support for bereaved children, families and staff in a caring, family-centered environment with a focus on grieving the loss and honoring the life.
Elliot Health System offers a Pediatric Bereavement Committee for families who have lost a child. The program is designed to offer you support since we last saw you. Our team of providers at Elliot Hospital believes that it is important to continue to support families even after they have left the hospital. In the future, we may contact you to invite you to remembrance events or just to see if you need anything.
We understand that for some families, ongoing contact with us may be a difficult reminder of your loss. If you do not want to receive calls or information about future pediatric bereavement activities, kindly reach out to us so that we may respect your wishes.
For more information, please contact LacyJane Cremmen, MS, CCLS via phone (603-663-3416) or email (lcremmen@elliot-hs.org).
