Abstract
Family-centered care is considered “best practice” in most pediatric health care settings. Family-centered care is a philosophy of care that recognizes, respects, and supports the essential role of the family in the lives of children [1]. It is a philosophy that acknowledges and supports diversity among families-diversity that encompasses varied family structures and sociocultural backgrounds, family goals and priorities, strategies and actions, as well as diversity in family support, service, and informational needs [2]. Family-centered care strives to support families in their natural caregiving roles by building upon their unique strengths as individuals and as families. It is a philosophy that views parents and professionals as equals in a partnership committed to excellence at all levels of health care [1].
