What We Do
You don't need to send a child to the hospital for pediatric infusion therapy – you can send us to them.
Experienced infusion teams
Our PHS team has experience treating newborns, children, and adolescents and includes infusion nurses, doctors of pharmacy, respiratory therapists, dietitians, Private Duty nurses, a medical social worker, and educators.
- Each treatment plan is created to meet the individual needs of your child. We oversee your child's medication use to keep him or her safe at home.
- We teach families what to do and when to do it.
- We provide patient assessment, education, and lab monitoring.
- We offer Private Duty nurses and partner with other nursing agencies to deliver care outside the 11-county metro area.

Our clients say:
"We really appreciate the quality care and moral/emotional support we received from PHS. It felt overwhelming and you folks carried us through it. Your staff is just wonderful. I love the way they taught me how to do my son's care and made sure that I felt comfortable to do it on my own. I love PHS and the family atmosphere."
