Providing Comprehensive, Holistic Care
Your child is more than a medical diagnosis. At the Transitional Care Center, we address every aspect of your child’s health and wellbeing using a holistic approach to care.
Our first priority is, of course, their tracheostomy needs. Once stabilized, we then focus on your child’s long-term care and prepare them for life outside the hospital as they grow and develop. We also provide you and other caregivers with resources, including hands-on training and our Tracheotomy Care Handbook to help you feel confident and knowledgeable about caring for your child at home.

Our team of experienced experts is skilled in a range of treatments and procedures to help your child adjust to their tracheotomy and mechanical ventilator. Procedures we commonly perform include:
