Universal specializes in the provision of high-tech medical services with an emphasis on pediatrics.

Our very first case in 1985 involved a broncho-pulmonary dysplasia child. Until this time a ventilator-dependent child had never been discharged to home care in a rural location, anywhere. The child had been hospitalized two years prior to discharge and little hope of release was available before Universal stepped forward. Our organization accepted the challenge and developed a care plan that provided the security and assurance required prior to discharging. Our Universal team worked successfully with physicians and the family to provide the child with a secure environment at home.

This Burlington child was the first of many for whom Universal has opened doors, allowing children to live at home. It is an excellent example of our philosophy in action. We have a special commitment to provide the highest quality care. Our plans are individually designed to meet the requirements of the client, the physician, third-party payers and others interested in the success of the home care program.

Philosophy

All individuals deserve the opportunity to lead a normal life.

This freedom, however, is a challenge for the medically fragile and technologically dependent. Universal Pediatric Services, Inc. was founded on the belief that those individuals with special medical needs deserve a chance to enjoy a life free of prolonged hospitalization.

At Universal, we believe that dignity and freedom can only be realized by allowing individuals to escape the limitations and restrictions associated with institutional care. All infants, children, young and mature adults with special needs, must be allowed an alternative that will permit them the comfort, security and love available only in a home setting. Our company was created to provide this service.
