All children, including those who need the care of skilled nurses, deserve to live with their families. The national nursing shortage has made that impossible for some Pennsylvania children and threatened the home lives of others.

Lack of access to needed skilled care risks the lives and health of medically fragile children and results in hospitalizations, loss of parent employment, family stress, and caregiver exhaustion. Worse, it causes some children to be placed in residential facilities away from their families and communities.

Help us keep children with their families: support our push to create a license for the payment of well-trained family members who  provide nurse-level skilled care to their children under the supervision of a home health agency.
