We are a team of experienced leaders, physician executives, innovators and parents who are committed to building new and better ways to care for children with medical complexity and special health care needs. We focus everything we do on supporting these children. Together we strive to give them, their caregivers, and their providers an extra layer of support that makes a challenging situation just a little easier.
A 4-year-old boy with cerebral palsy and epilepsy was experiencing an increase in frequent breakthrough seizures above his typical baseline.
Our nurse practitioner spoke with the child’s mom about his seizure rescue medication, walking her through how to use it as prescribed. We coordinated with the child’s neurologist to get an appointment for the following day to evaluate his current maintenance medication dosing.
The patient avoided an ER visit and received a follow-up appointment with the child’s neurologist the day after his change in symptoms to manage his chronic seizure disorder.
A 10-year-old child with holoprosencephaly who frequents the ER and urgent care clinic for steroid and/or antibiotic treatment needed a sick visit. Due to transportation difficulty, an ambulance is often needed. The patient’s mom called our team for help, hoping to avoid another ambulance ride and more time in the ER.
We completed a virtual sick visit for the child right away and provided recommendations for at-home care with albuterol, vest, and inhaled steroid. We then completed a same day follow-up visit to confirm that the child was doing well and the treatment was effective.
The patient was able to avoid an ambulance trip and an ER visit, contacting an Imagine Pediatrics provider before escalation was needed.
A 14-year-old child who was born at 29 weeks with global developmental delay, epilepsy, and cerebral palsy is now homebound. Their mom is an overwhelmed sole caregiver who was unable to take the child to an upcoming transfusion appointment.
Our team arranged for transportation to the transfusion appointment. We also provided an emergency home medical kit with necessary supplies for the child, such as larger-sized diapers.
Our patient kept an appointment critical to keeping their condition stable, and their mom was relieved to receive necessary home supplies without added care burden.
