PEG & Enteral Feeding Support
Expert care for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) and other enteral feeding methods. Our Registered Nurses provide safe, compassionate support for all your enteral nutrition needs.
What is PEG Feeding?
A Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) is a feeding tube that is placed directly into the stomach through the abdominal wall. It provides a way to deliver nutrition, fluids, and medications when a person cannot eat or drink safely by mouth.
PEG feeding may be needed for various reasons, including swallowing difficulties (dysphagia), neurological conditions, head and neck cancers, or recovery from surgery or illness.
Our team provides comprehensive support for all aspects of enteral feeding, ensuring you receive the nutrition you need safely and comfortably.
