Mission

To establish national standards of care that will optimize the health and quality of life for Canadian children/youth with medical complexity and their families through shared decision making, while supporting the  achievement of child/family identified health goals and outcomes using the best available evidence and experience-based knowledge.

The mission of the CoP is based on the following principles of care: 

1. The care is child/ youth/family centered.
2. The care is integrated: coordinated, collaborative, continuous, and seamless across the continuum (hospital, community and agencies/services). 
3. The care is accessible. 
4. The care is delivered as such that the child/youth/family is empowered.
