Who We Are
The Texas PPECC Association is the unified voice of providers across Texas, united by a powerful mission: to transform the lives of medically fragile children through a high-quality, cost-effective model of care that unlocks each child’s potential, expands access for families, and strengthens entire communities. By partnering with state agencies, regulatory leaders, health plans, and key stakeholders, we champion operational excellence, regulatory integrity, and the highest standards of care. Through strategic advocacy, collaboration, and education, we are advancing and expanding the PPECC industry to shape a stronger, more accessible future for medically complex children and their families across Texas and beyond.
Our "Why"
5th Annual Conference
The Texas PPECC Association proudly hosted our 5th Annual Conference in Dallas, Texas this year, drawing a massive turnout of stakeholders from across Texas, including state officials, leadership from HHSC and TMHP, PPECC and therapy providers, health plan executives, and other strategic partners. It was a powerful day of data-driven insights, meaningful dialogue, and collaboration that strengthened relationships and advanced our shared vision for the future of pediatric care.
Welcome!
A Message From The Founder
It is my privilege to welcome to you the Texas Association for PPECC’s. Since founding this organization, it has been my honor and duty to represent all PPECC owners across Texas in advocating for our precious medically complex babies and kids. Together, we have made great strides thus far. In a short amount of time, we have been able to change state rules that govern PPECC’s. We are excited to announce the passing of our Bill changing rules and reimbursement protocols.
Together, with a collective voice, we can create the PPECC gold standard to shape the growth of this industry in our state.
I am proud to be leading the cause.
Onward!

About PPECC
A Bit of Background
A Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care Center (PPECC) is a specialized, facility-based healthcare setting that provides skilled nursing care and therapeutic services to medically complex infants and children during the day. PPECCs offer a safe, structured, and enriching environment where children receive individualized medical care, developmental support, and therapies while remaining connected to their families and communities. By bridging the gap between hospital-level medical needs and home life, PPECCs help children thrive, support family caregivers, and improve access to high-quality, cost-effective pediatric care.
We believe that PPECCs represent a unique opportunity to improve healthcare outcomes while reducing costs. By providing skilled clinical care in a lower-cost setting than hospitals or other institutional care, PPECCs help Medicaid programs realize meaningful taxpayer savings without compromising quality. Families benefit from coordinated, compassionate care that allows children to thrive while avoiding unnecessary emergency department visits and inpatient admissions.
Our mission is to educate the public about what PPECCs offer and work alongside policymakers at the state and federal levels to promote the interests of our patients and facilities.
