our Leadership
Meet Emily Swift!
Unique Pediatric Hearts was founded by nurse and owner Emily Swift, whose passion for pediatric care began with a defining childhood moment: comforting a young boy with terminal cancer. That experience shaped her lifelong commitment to ensuring no child or family ever feels alone in their most vulnerable moments. After years in geriatrics, long-term care, and pediatric nursing, Emily saw firsthand how overwhelming the healthcare journey can be for families and set out to create a service rooted in compassion and clarity.
Today, she leads UPH with a heart-first approach formed through years of hands-on caregiving. Emily chooses nurses who bring both clinical expertise and genuine empathy to every home, and she remains accessible and involved with the families UPH serves. Under her leadership, the team delivers reliable, family-centered care that helps children thrive and gives parents lasting peace of mind.

Ongoing education ensures our staff always provide the safest and most up-to-date care possible.
Do you serve all areas of Georgia?
