Tender Care Attended the NICU reunion at the Palm Beach Children's Hospital 2024!

Providing a Helping Hand for Special Needs Children and Families.

🌟 What an incredible time we had at the NICU reunion at the Palm Beach Children’s Hospital! 🌟

 

We were moved by the inspiring stories from families who have overcome so much and grateful for the chance to reconnect with them. A special highlight was seeing one of our very first patients from the West Palm PPEC center, who has since graduated and no longer needs our services! Watching these children grow and thrive is what fuels our passion every day.

 

Swipe through for a few heartwarming moments, and a big THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by to share their journey with us. 💖👶

The host of the fair, the Palm Beach Children’s Hospital, features a 24-hour dedicated pediatric emergency department and offers a treatment center for childhood cancer with access to the most advanced research and treatments. Additionally, they offer specialized programs, including a state-designated Regional Perinatal Intensive Care Center, a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and they are also home to leading pediatric orthopedists. When your child is sick or injured, and you don’t know where to turn, know that you have a partner in Palm Beach Children’s Hospital.

Their mission is to provide a compassionate and understanding environment that reduces anxiety and helps your child feel comfortable spending time at the hospital.

Tender Care provides care for medically complex and fragile children from birth to 21 years of age in a daycare-like environment staffed with nurses, CNAs, and therapists. We are the first independently owned PPEC in the State of Florida with our initial center opening in 1988. This means we have an abundance of experience and knowledge in providing loving care to this special pediatric population. We have 6 Tender Care PPEC centers throughout Florida, with our newest facility located in Lake Park.

Lake Park Location

Our goal is to enhance the development of each child through collaborative relationships between families, physicians, nurses, and therapists. This holistic approach to care is carried out in an environment that allows the child to engage in social interactions with their peers. This results in thriving children, well-positioned to achieve their greatest potential. We also offer transportation at no cost and provide nutritious meals throughout the day. 

What sets us apart is that we care for and treat every child like family. We have passion in our hearts for our children and a desire to see them succeed.

We are so excited to have a table at this fair and can’t wait to meet all the families that attend.
