The Palliative Care Program is led by Dr. Blaine B. Pitts
who is board certified in Pediatrics, Pediatric Hospice and
Palliative Medicine and serves patients and families across
multiple service lines, with a focus primarily on oncology.

“Pediatric Palliative Care has grown tremendously in Central

been over 380 children served at Arnold Palmer Medical
Center in the past 2 years. Runway to Hope’s support will
allow us the capacity to expand the number of palliative

The financial support given by Runway to Hope will also
help hire additional staff and specialists to better provide
home visits, follow-up bereavement care and education to
the community through local hospice efforts.

“Runway to Hope is honored to be continuing in our promise
to Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and to now also

“It is so important for these patients and their families to
receive the compassion, comfort and quality of care that

continued collaboration as we work together to find a cure
and provide the best care possible for these courageous
