Pediatric Services
Thriving at home
You don’t have to send a child to the hospital – you can send us to them.
Kids live better when they live at home. We specialize in helping them do that – no matter what medical challenges they face. Our young patients live their lives as fully as possible, in their own homes and surrounded by their families, thanks to a broad range of services and highly specialized pediatric care.
Better outcomes at home
Fewer trips to the emergency room, fewer hospitalizations, fewer school days missed, lower costs, improved development progress and most importantly, a better quality of life for children and their families – these are the benefits of using PHS pediatric homecare services.
Pediatric Services:
Respiratory Therapy
We provide pulmonary assessments, environmental assessments, and a variety of specific respiratory support services to children. PHS is also a durable medical equipment (DME) and supplies provider.
In-Home Asthma Management
As the only pediatric disease-specific independent homecare program in the country certified by The Joint Commission, our asthma program helps families manage asthma – and asthma episodes.
Infusion Therapy
PHS offers a hard-to-find combination of expertise in pediatrics, infusion therapy, and homecare. Combine that with integrated pharmacy and nutrition support, and our young patients have the most specialized infusion therapy available.
Pharmacy
While we provide easy access to everything a homecare patient needs, the PHS Pharmacy is more than a retail store. As part of a multidisciplinary team, the PHS staff coordinates care and provides recommendations for therapy adjustments, clinical monitoring, specialty pharmacy services and on-site sterile product compounding.

Our clients say:
"I would like to take time from the everyday crazy life we live and say we are very thankful for PHS and its staff! Whether it is the nurses who come to our house, phone calls regarding questions we may have or that PHS has for us, ordering supplies or getting lab results sent to us, they are always top notch. Hats off to the PHS staff for the wonderful services they provide. Thank you!"
