Our Services
Enteral Feeding
Nutrition delivered safely and precisely, so your child can grow.
Covered at no out-of-pocket cost for qualifying Georgia families
What it is
Safe, precise tube feeding — pump management, formula preparation, tolerance monitoring and growth tracking.
Enteral feeding is not simply “food through a tube”. Rate, volume, positioning, tolerance and timing all interact, and small errors compound into vomiting, aspiration, poor weight gain or a hospital stay. Our nurses manage feeding as the clinical intervention it is.
We track growth against your child’s own curve and flag it early when the numbers drift, so their physician and dietitian can adjust the regimen before it becomes a crisis.
Who this is for: Children who receive part or all of their nutrition through a nasogastric, gastrostomy, gastrojejunal or jejunal tube.
