Skilled Intermittent Services

An extensive network of nurses and therapists care for a varied and growing population of pediatric and adult patients. Seven days a week, 24 hours a day. The skill and knowledge of its nursing staff enables AHCE's intermittent services to continually expand in order to meet the needs of patients. Nursing services range from physical assessment and medication administration to high tech therapies. In addition, physical, occupational and speech therapies are coordinated in the home.

Staff:

All AHCE's pediatric nurses must have experience in either a neonatal/pediatric intensive care setting or in a general pediatric unit. AHCE continues this high standard of expertise in meeting the needs of its patients. All the adult nursing staff have either emergency room, intensive care or medical/surgical acute care experience. In order to meet the special needs of AHCE's patient population, comprehensive orientation and continuing education programs are required for all staff.
