Since its inception in 1999, The Foundation for Positively Kids has become Southern Nevada's central resource center for medically dependent children and their families, providing an array of services and programs to meet their needs. Positively Kids dedicates all available time, resources and donations to the medically fragile children living in the community we call home - Las Vegas. We thank our staff, volunteers, nurses and donors - all of whom help make Las Vegas a better place to live.

The Foundation for Positively Kids is committed to providing an environment that will have a positive effect on the growth and development of Las Vegas' medically fragile children.

Upon admittance to our program, each child receives a physical and developmental assessment, as well as an evaluation of the psychosocial needs of the family unit. Based on these assessments, we then develop an individualized, interdisciplinary plan of care for the child and their family.

Programs offered by Positively Kids strive to embrace each child's unique needs, while providing the services essential to their well being and happiness. Vital to the success of every program we provide is its ability to achieve these goals:

The Positively Kids team consists of several dedicated professionals, each with their own area of expertise as well as personal experiences. Positively Kids also has approximately 20 licensed staff members. The pediatric staff consists of Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses (RN's), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN's), Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA'S), plus Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapists who assist the children in our programs every day.
