Dear Colleagues,

Nascent collaboration between Surgery and Pediatric Palliative Care promises improved care for children with serious illness and their families. Teams across the United States and globally are embarking on initiatives to create opportunities for clinical and research partnerships. Illuminating these collective efforts can generate further cooperation. In this Special Issue, we aim to highlight the importance of work intersecting Surgery and Pediatric Palliative Care to offer insights and guidance on how to move forward together. We invite authors to submit original research articles, descriptions of clinical innovation projects, and perspectives on why this work is essential to the care of children with serious illness.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Sincerely,

Dr. Danielle B. Cameron
