The
HealthBridge difference
HealthBridge Children's Hospital in Orange, CA
stands out as a leader in pediatric medical care
and rehabilitation because it takes technology and
services regularly seen in acute hospital settings
and blends them into a family-centered, home-like

children, spanning ages from newborn infants to
age 21 years.
Our comprehensive program of services allows us to

throughout the continuum of care including coma
stimulation, acute rehabilitation, chronic illness
care and outpatient services. Our mission is to
help each child reach his or her highest

life possible. There's no place like home, but
when a child is sick or injured and can't go home,
HealthBridge is here to help.

An environment
that promotes recovery
HealthBridge understands and recognizes that
your child's family and environment play an
important role in the recovery process. Your
child's family is encouraged to participate with
the Rehab Team in the care and development of
treatment plans for your child.
Treatment plans are individualized to address
the emotional needs of your child and family, as
well as medical, social and physical needs.
Regular team meetings allow for adjustments
if needed after evaluating your child's progress.
The home-like setting provides your child with a
warm and nurturing environment that helps
accelerate the healing process and encourage
growth.
Private rooms facilitate quality time with
parents, friends and other family members. Unlike
traditional hospital settings, children are able
to participate in activities both inside and
outdoors. This relaxed environment is also more
conducive to family training and an easier
transition to home.
