Improving the quality of life for families that include children with medical complexity
Eliana's Light supports the whole health, well-being, and quality of life of MD, DC, and VA families that include children who have medical complexity.
We provide critical emotional, financial, and educational support to family members while we connect their caregivers to additional resources. We also advocate for whole health approaches to care in pediatrics and regularly organize volunteer programs that build community and connection while raising awareness on these families and whole health care.
We’re filling gaps in our nation's support systems and working collaboratively through our unique “C.A.R.E” model with medical centers, health care providers, housing assistance, and other specialists to co-create with families "Constellations of Care".
We hope to deepen our model within the Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia region and also scale it nationally. We invite your partnership.
“Eliana’s Light- this is by far the best organization I have ever worked with. The supports and resources they provide have truly helped my family and renewed my mental state.”
“The support I have received from Eliana’s Light has been a godsend. Compassionate, reliable, and an enormous source of strength and hope. The organization has provided me with helpful and practical tools to manage my stress, fears and anxiety, and the daily emotional pressures that come with caring for my son. ”
“In sum, they get it right. They know what families need and they deliver.”

“Integrative health is a state of well-being that reflects aspects of the individual, community, and population. It is affected by 1) individual biological factors and behaviors, social values and public policy; 2) the physical, social, and economic environment; and 3) an integrative health care system that involves the active participation of the individual in the healthcare team in applying a broad spectrum of preventative and therapeutic approaches. Integrative health encourages individuals, social groups, and communities to develop ways of living that promote meaning, resilience, and well-being across the life course.”
