Pediatric Physical
Rehabilitation Program
Our physical
rehabilitation program
for children who have had
catastrophic injuries,
chronic illnesses and
other medical issues. Our
comprehensive program
prepares children to
leave the hospital and
return home.
When children are
admitted to the program,
they undergo a
comprehensive,
multidisciplinary team
assessment. With this
information, the team
designs an individualized
treatment plan to address
the child's specific
needs. Our team
continually monitors the
child's progress to
determine if adjustments
should be made to his or
her treatment.
We make every effort to
include a child's family
during his or her
treatment. Our
experienced staff helps
teach the family about
their child's condition
and how to manage
symptoms at home. In
addition to learning
medical and therapeutic
care, they can
participate in patient
care conferences with
other members of the
treatment team.
Additionally, we offer
parents resources to cope
with stress and other
difficulties during their
child's treatment.
