A child's experience at The HSC Pediatric Center is very different from the usual hospital experience.
Each
child is involved in everyday activities of playing, learning, and growing
while receiving expert medical care that only a pediatric hospital can
provide. Our rehabilitation therapists incorporate activities into each
child's routine regardless of the challenges of their medical condition.
HSC cares for children as individuals and develops individually designed
therapy programs. These programs focus on maximizing each child's physical,
cognitive and social abilities. For some children, this may mean learning
to adapt to lifelong issues relating to the illness or disability. For
others, this means learning how to do the simplest tasks, such as drinking
from a cup, putting on clothes or taking steps for the first time after
an injury.
From a child's very first day at The HSC Pediatric Center, the staff begins to plan and prepare for a child's return home. We offer many programs and services to make the transition successful. Children also participate in therapeutic field trips to try out their daily living skills in the community. HSC also provides specialized family apartments so that families can learn how to care for their child in a comfortable, supportive environment.
