Healthcare for Kids (HCK) is a leader in pediatric healthcare and is proud to be a PDHC provider in Louisiana, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Texas.  This innovative model of care provides comprehensive medical care to children with complex medical needs in a safe, nurturing environment.

Healthcare for Kids centers are designed for children who require medical care beyond what is typically available in traditional daycare settings. With licensed nurses, developmental therapists, and skilled caregivers on staff, these centers ensure children receive specialized, individualized care while also enjoying a stimulating, fun, and social environment.

“Our mission is to improve the quality of life for medically fragile children and their families,” said Joe Harrelson, CEO of Healthcare for Kids. “By expanding our PDHC services, we are able to provide vital healthcare, therapy, and social interaction to children who need it most, offering parents peace of mind and support.”

Key Features of Healthcare for Kids PDHC:

  • Comprehensive Medical Care: Experienced pediatric nurses provide daily medical care, including monitoring vital signs, administering medication, and managing feeding tubes, oxygen therapy, and other complex medical needs.
  • Therapeutic Services: In collaboration with physical, occupational, and speech therapists, Healthcare for Kids offers a holistic approach to improving each child’s developmental progress.
  • Socialization & Education: Children have the opportunity to interact with their peers, benefiting from structured educational activities that support cognitive and social development.
  • Family Support: The PDHC program also includes resources for families, such as case management, caregiver education, and emotional support services.
  • Transportation: Every family can use our transportation to get your child to and from our centers, where they are cared for by medical personnel while traveling.

With locations across Florida, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and Texas, Healthcare for Kids PDHC and PPEC centers are open to children from birth to 21 years old who qualify for care based on their medical conditions and physician referrals. By integrating healthcare, developmental services, and early childhood education, Healthcare for Kids is setting a new standard in pediatric care.

“We’re not just a healthcare provider – we’re part of the community and a partner for families navigating complex medical journeys,” said Brittany Rose, Director of Nursing at Healthcare for Kids. “Our goal is to create a loving, engaging space where children can thrive.”
