Step by Step PPEC
What is PPEC?
Step by Step is a Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) facility dedicated to the outstanding care of medically fragile infants and children from birth to age 21.
Our center is designed to enhance the development of each child’s independence, while promoting optimal outcomes. Daily care at our center involves clinical interventions, therapy services and educational activities.
