Programs and Services
Pediatric Chronic Illness Program
The Pediatric Chronic Illness Program (PCI) strives to transition children with chronic medical illnesses to a home setting as well as maximize their developmental skills. Our multi-disciplinary team approach focuses on improving health and optimizing functional ability.
Education and caregiver training provides families with the knowledge and skills needed to meet the healthcare needs of their children, and prepares patients and their families for life in the community.
The PCI Program provides all its services in a family-centered, sub-acute, inpatient environment, as well as in an outpatient multidisciplinary facility to ensure continuity and cost-effective care. In addition, we collaborate and consult closely with a variety of specialists from local university teaching hospitals.
