Pediatric Ventilator Support for Children & Young Adults with Ventilator Dependency
The Highest Level of Specialized Clinical Care Delivered with Dignity
Seven Hills Pediatric Center’s Ventilator Support Program is dedicated to caring for children and young adults who are ventilator-dependent. Whether for long-term admission or short-term respite stays, this program is approved by the Department of Public Health.
Our experienced medical and nursing staff, with over 30 years in the field, are trained in the latest ventilator technology. Each room is equipped with inline suction, oxygen, and compressed air, creating a quiet and peaceful environment thanks to our in-house monitoring system, which transmits alarms directly to the nursing team.
