????2008年,，戴維?普倫德加斯特的女兒貝絲被診斷出患有白血病。從那之后，他才知道,，有類似遭遇的家庭應(yīng)該得到更好的臨終關(guān)懷,。在貝絲生命的最后六天負(fù)責(zé)照顧她的家庭病房護(hù)理人員更習(xí)慣照顧成年人，“盡管付出了最大的努力,，但貝絲還是在經(jīng)歷過(guò)許多痛苦之后離開(kāi)了我們,，”普倫德加斯特說(shuō)。很快,，他便與珍妮?麥金納合作,，幫助她成立愛(ài)爾蘭第一家臨終患兒關(guān)懷醫(yī)院（上圖中右側(cè)為普倫德加斯特，左側(cè)為麥金納）,。麥金納曾經(jīng)失去過(guò)兩個(gè)孩子,。普倫德加斯特曾多次在媒體中露面，尋求政府對(duì)這項(xiàng)事業(yè)的支持,。僅從英特爾的同事那里便募得了100,000美元,。英特爾為新大樓捐贈(zèng)了專業(yè)IT服務(wù)，而為了接納患者家庭,，普倫德加斯特與建筑師們對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行了大量修改,。2011年，勞拉林恩,，愛(ài)爾蘭臨終兒童關(guān)懷醫(yī)院（LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice）成立,，一舉開(kāi)創(chuàng)了愛(ài)爾蘭兒童護(hù)理領(lǐng)域的先河。

????After leukemia claimed David Prendergast’s toddler daughter, Beth, in 2008, he knew the end-of-life experience could be better for families in similar situations. The home-care aides that tended to Beth during her final six days were more used to dealing with adults, and “despite best efforts, Beth died in quite a lot of pain,” Prendergast says. He immediately teamed up with Jane McKenna, a mother who had lost two children of her own, to help her establish Ireland’s first hospice for terminally ill children (Prendergast is pictured above, left with McKenna). Prendergast made multiple media appearances to drum up national support for the cause and raised just under $100,000 with his fellow Intel employees. Intel donated specialized IT services for the new building, and Prendergast worked with architects on myriad details to accommodate families. LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice, opened in 2011, setting a new precedent for children’s care in the country.
