Pediatric Advanced Care Team (not a U.S. government website). Since 1997, the Pediatric Advanced Care Team (PACT) has supported children treated at Children's Hospital Boston and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The team includes two doctors, a nurse, a social worker and a coordinator. PACT members consult with patients, families and the primary care team to bring together the information and guidance needed to make the right treatment choices for each child. Some of the support they provide includes optimizing pain and symptom management, advocating family and health care provider communication, and coordinating inpatient, outpatient and home care.
