Mercy Pediatric Home Care allows children to recover in the comfort of their own home with family members, rather than in a hospital. It provides cost-effective, compassionate medical care to homebound children under 18-years old who are recovering from injuries or surgeries, dealing with chronic or complicated diagnoses or other serious health problems.

In addition to the psychological and emotional advantages of recovering at home, Mercy Pediatric Home Care saves healthcare dollars, reduces the likelihood of complications such as infection and provides high-tech medical care by a skilled, specially-trained team of healthcare professionals. Mercy Pediatric Home Carealso supports the family by offering educational, nutritional, and spiritual counseling and assistance in securing resources.
