We were ready for Halloween early this year! Our Child Life team kicked off the fun with our annual Trunk or Treat on October 18. Patients and families in our PediPals Pediatric Palliative Care program joined us at our Danvers office for a morning filled with creative costumes, big smiles, decorative trunks, and lots of candy!

Care Dimensions is one of seven pediatric palliative care providers recognized by the Massachusetts Pediatric Palliative Care Network (PCCN). Through PediPals, we enhance quality of life and provide comfort and support—helping families enjoy special moments like Trunk or Treat.

Care Dimensions staff and volunteers joined the families, along with some extra love from Pet Therapy Dog Rosie and volunteer Linda. It was a joyful day that truly got everyone in the Halloween spirit!
