Questions families ask
What needs do your pediatric nurses care for?
Children with complex medical needs, including children who rely on medical technology. We confirm your child's specific needs, such as tracheostomy or feeding tube care, before care starts.
Do we need a physician's order?
Yes. Your child's physician approves the plan of care, and our nurses follow those orders.
Will we have the same nurses?
We aim for a small, consistent team who get to know your child and your family's routines.
How is pediatric nursing paid for?
Many families use Illinois Medicaid programs for children with complex medical needs, private insurance, or both. We help you check coverage.
