Perinatal Palliative Care

SilverLeaf is the only stand-alone Perinatal Palliative Care Program in the state of Maryland, making it our primary mission to provide compassionate, expert support to families facing difficult pregnancy diagnoses.

Our team of specialized counselors are here to guide parents through the emotional and psychological challenges that come with devastating news. A complex diagnosis can bring a whirlwind of emotions—confusion, fear, uncertainty—and raise many difficult questions about what the future holds. Parents often feel overwhelmed, uncertain about the best path forward, and deeply concerned about their family's well-being.

At SilverLeaf, we offer a safe, judgment-free space where parents can take the time they need to make informed, thoughtful decisions that are right for them. We empower families to explore all options—whether that means continuing the pregnancy, preparing for a brief but meaningful time with their baby, or making other difficult choices. Our compassionate providers help parents navigate the complexities of the healthcare system, advocating for their wishes and ensuring that their voices are heard throughout the process.

Above all, SilverLeaf is committed to supporting families in whatever way they need during this profoundly difficult time, offering a blend of emotional, practical, and clinical care tailored to their unique journey.
