Director of Nursing, Ft. Lauderdale Center: Alexis Breuil
Alexis comes to us with over 15 years of nursing experience and a passion for improving the day-to-day health and happiness of children with special needs. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Florida International University.
Prior to joining us at Spark Pediatrics, she was part of the Broward Health Neonatal Intensive Care Unit as a neonatal registered nurse, and the Joe Dimaggio Children’s Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit as a neonatal registered nurse.
Outside of work, Alexis enjoys traveling and spending time with her loved ones — she also particularly enjoys a great book at the end of the day. Her daily motivation comes from helping families, “I am a single mother to a special needs child myself. I understand the struggle that parents deal with day-to-day.”

Clear communication at every step
Known as a PPEC, PPECC, or by other acronyms in different states, the definition of a PPEC is a medical daycare center staffed by nurses and aides who care for children with complex medical needs — up to 12 hours per day, and up to age 21. It’s a safe place for children to receive the medical care and therapy they need, while benefiting from a social environment.
Our centers treat children with a wide variety of conditions that require skilled nursing care. We care for children from birth (including premature babies) up until age 21. If your child requires daily medical care, they may qualify. Give us a call and we can discuss whether Spark is the right fit for your family.
PPEC services are completely covered by Medicaid, Medicaid-managed plans, and some insurance providers — at no cost to families. We work with the family's provider, and handle all communications and paperwork directly so there is no additional burden.
Spark Pediatrics coordinates transportation from door to door. A member of our team will escort the child at all times and ensure their safety. This service is provided for free.
