Not all PPECs are the same. ๐Ÿ’™

Brightside Pediatrics is proudly owned by a pediatric nurse, Jacque Dennie, BSN RN, not a corporate office. With nearly 30 years of pediatric nursing experience, Jacque brings hands-on expertise and genuine heart to every decision she makes for our center.

That means our team of specialized nurses and caregivers isn't just following a corporate playbook. They're delivering nursing interventions, individualized care plans, and medical supervision the way Jacque herself would want her own children cared for.

Nurturing, supportive, personal. That's the Brightside difference.

๐Ÿ“ž Interested in joining the Brightside family? Give us a call today at 904-895-7337. We'd love to welcome you!

Touchdowns and birthday cakeโ€ฆwhat more could you ask for? ๐Ÿˆ๐ŸŽ‚

Last week, our team and kiddos suited up in their favorite football gear and celebrated birthdays in true Brightside style. Because here, we believe every day is a good day to celebrate our amazing kids!

๐Ÿงฉ Therapy Thursday: Occupational Therapy

At Brightside, therapy can look a lot like playโ€”but thereโ€™s always a purpose behind it! ๐Ÿ’™

Our Occupational Therapy team works with our kiddos to help build skills that support greater independence in everyday activities. From fine motor skills and coordination to sensory processing and functional tasks, OT helps children develop the skills they need to participate, explore, and thrive. ๐ŸŒŸ

Sometimes itโ€™s coloring. Sometimes itโ€™s building. Sometimes itโ€™s practicing a new skill. And sometimes, itโ€™s simply having fun while learning something new!

Weโ€™re proud to celebrate every milestone, big and small, with our Brightside kiddos. ๐Ÿ’™

๐ŸŽ‰ This week marks the beginning of our partnership with Medical Transport Solutions (MTS), and we couldn't be more excited!

Their brand-new vans, friendly drivers, and knowledgeable staff made an incredible first impression. ๐Ÿš It was wonderful seeing our aides greet the children as they arrived safely at the center.

โ“Did you know that Medicaid covers 100% of transportation to and from our PPEC for eligible children? We believe that transportation should never be a barrier to receiving the skilled nursing care and therapies your child needs.

We're proud to partner with a company that shares our commitment to compassionate, dependable care. ๐Ÿค MTS provides specialized transportation designed with children in mind. Each vehicle is equipped with child-specific safety features and staffed by professionals trained in pediatric care, ensuring every child travels safely, comfortably, and with the attention they deserve.

A huge thank you to the entire team at Medical Transport Solutions for making such a wonderful first impression. We look forward to many safe rides and smiling faces ahead! Check out their website for more information: https://www.mtsangels.com/ ๐Ÿ’™

If you've been wondering whether PPEC might be right for your child, we'd love to answer your questions and help you learn more about our services.
