Making a
        Difference . . .
Welcome to PATCHES PPEC.   Everyday we are making a difference in the lives of medically complex children and their families.  We deeply believe that every child deserves to live free of pain and be as healthy as they can be to grow and play.

Because of PATCHES, many babies and children are able to get out of the hospital sooner or leave the isolation of home care and spend the day in a safe, enriching environment where they can thrive physically, developmentally and socially. 

We have helped countless families manage their child’s health care needs so they can feel secure in returning to work or school.  If you are a parent with a child who needs nursing care every day we may be able to help you.

Sincerely, 
The Founders of PATCHES
