Company Profile
Universal Pediatrics
Company Overview
Since 1985, Universal Pediatrics has been providing home healthcare to medically fragile children and young adults across Iowa in rural and metro areas. We specialize in one-on-one, extended hourly nursing care for children with high-tech medical needs, such as, tube feedings, trach cares, and ventilator support.
We case-specific train nurses so they are knowledgeable and confident for the individual child they are providing skilled care. This unique approach of hiring nurses and home health aides for our clients brings comfort and ease to the children and families allowing them to receive high quality care at home surrounded by their loved ones.
Company History
Universal Pediatrics was founded by Connie Freeman, a registered nurse, who was working for a home care company and recognized the lack of care providers for high-tech children in rural areas. Connie decided to open an agency with a primary focus on high-tech children, regardless of their location. Her passion quickly turned Universal Pediatrics into an operation with offices in over 15 states. Connie's vision and dedication also earned the 1992 Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year award.
