What Pediatric Home Services does

Pediatric Home Service (PHS) is a privately held pediatric home healthcare provider founded in 1990 in Minneapolis, operating 55 locations across 12 states with a workforce in the 1,001-5,000 range. The company delivers integrated clinical services for children with medical complexities — respiratory therapy, infusion nursing, clinical nutrition, private duty nursing, durable medical equipment (DME), and Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) under the Pediatric Health Choice sub-brand — and also operates The Breast Pump Depot for maternal/postpartum supplies. Patient care is supported by a Pediatric Center of Excellence framework, a high-fidelity Simulation Center with a Care-a-Van mobile lab, PHS University clinical courses, and the MyPHS Portal for online supply ordering.

PHS is paid through insurance reimbursement (private insurance, Medicaid, and government programs) under physician orders, with contracts negotiated by payor authorization. The go-to-market model is sales-led and referral-driven: the company works with hospitals on discharge planning, accepts provider referrals, and engages families directly through an intake process. It is accredited by CHAP and ACHC and markets to a highly specific patient segment — children with tracheostomies, ventilators, feeding tubes, central lines, and other technology-dependent conditions — representing a small but high-acuity cohort of the pediatric population.

PHS is currently a subsidiary of InTandem, which in March 2026 engaged investment bank TripleTree to run an auction sale process for the company. The business has expanded through organic buildout, including the March 2026 Morgan's Wonder Care PPEC joint venture in San Antonio, and through acquisitions, including Apple Homecare Medical Supply and All About Pediatrics in November 2023. Sub-brands include Pediatric Health Choice (PPEC centers), The Breast Pump Depot, PHS University, the MyPHS Portal, and the Care-a-Van mobile lab. The CEO is Rick Hagelstein and the Medical Director is Roy Maynard, M.D.
