Where do children go when they are released from intensive care, but still not ready to go home? Where do they go to learn how to adapt to lifelong issues relating to chronic illness or their disabilities? They come to The HSC Pediatric Center. For over a century, children and teens have come through our doors to receive rehabilitative and transitional care. Our patients, as a result of disease, injury, and premature birth, have complex disabilities that include developmental delays, cerebral palsy, and brain injuries.
The HSC Pediatric Center is guided by a family-centered philosophy. We not only help the child, we strive to help an entire family understand and accept the challenges ahead. We take pride in providing a nurturing environment of family-centered care so that children and teens can learn, play, and grow while receiving the medical care they need.
We recently changed the name of our organization. Our new name, The HSC Pediatric Center, maintains the tradition built over the years by keeping the HSC initials. At the same time, it embraces change--we’re still HSC, but now the initials stand for something new: Health Services for Children. Although we’ve changed our name, our mission remains the same. As a community health provider, to ensure access to quality rehabilitative and specialty services for infants, children and adolescents with special needs and their families.
The HSC Pediatric Center is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO) and CARF (The Rehabilitation Accreditation Commission).
