According to the Pennsylvania Homecare Association, 29% of authorized pediatric nursing hours go unstaffed every month in Pennsylvania.
That means thousands of children in Pennsylvania, children who are authorized and medically eligible for nursing care at home, are not receiving it.
Not because the care isn't available. Because the agency isn't there.
At , we are there. Our pediatric care services in Harrisburg and central Pennsylvania provide specialized nursing for children with complex medical needs, the very children these statistics represent:
~ Children on ventilators who deserve to breathe at home.
~ Children with trachs who deserve to sleep in their own beds.
~ Children with feeding tubes, IV lines, and complex medication needs who deserve a consistent nurse who knows their name.
๐ Share it with a family, a social worker, a nurse, or an advocate who needs to know that real pediatric home nursing is available in central PA.
