CELEBRATING
20 YEARS OF
COMPASSIONATE
HOME HEALTH CARE
OUR STORY
After more than two decades as a pediatric nurse, Margy Mayfield saw firsthand that children with serious illnesses wanted to be home. Frustrated by how quotas and cutbacks impacted care, she believed kids deserved better. In 2005, she founded Coastal Kids Home Care, California’s only pediatric home health agency, with a mission to deliver high quality, compassionate care to children with serious or life limiting illnesses, regardless of a family’s ability to pay.
Since then, Coastal Kids has served over 11,000 children and completed more than 100,000 in home visits. Each year, we care for about 700 medically fragile children across Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Benito, and Santa Clara. As the only provider of pediatric palliative and end of life care in these areas, we remain true to Margy’s vision: every child deserves exceptional care in the comfort and safety of home.
From Toddler Fighting Cancer to High School Graduate A Shared Journey of Milestones
As Coastal Kids Home Care celebrates 20 years of compassionate care, we also celebrate the remarkable milestones our patients have achieved along the way. One of those patients is Lyla Hernandez, who was just a toddler when she was diagnosed with leukemia. Thanks to in-home visits from her Coastal Kids nurse Margy, Lyla received the care she needed in the comfort of home with warmth, laughter, and compassion. Now, over a decade cancer free, Lyla is graduating high school this year and dreaming of becoming a chef. Her journey reflects the heart of our mission: helping children overcome life-threatening illness and reach for bright, promising futures. Stories like Lyla’s are at the core of our 20 year legacy and the next chapter we’re writing together.
