About Us
HealthBridge Children’s Hospital specializes in
providing pediatric medical care and
rehabilitation for children ages birth to
twenty-one who have suffered from a catastrophic
illness or injury. We are dedicated to assisting
these children and their families through
challenging times within a home-like and nurturing
environment.
Our comprehensive program of services allows us to
serve our patients throughout the continuum of
care from coma stimulation and chronic illness
care to ICU step-down, acute rehabilitation and
outpatient therapy. Our mission is to help each
child reach his or her highest potential, while
providing for the best quality of life
possible.
HealthBridge uses a team approach for positive
outcomes in an environment that promotes recovery.
Individual care plans are developed to meet the
medical, rehabilitative, social, and emotional
needs of each child. Cultural, economic,
educational and geographic requirements are also
considered.
This interdisciplinary approach utilizes a variety
of medical professionals and specialty consultants
dedicated to helping the child achieve positive
functional outcomes. Since families play a vital
role in the recovery process and attainment of
goals, we consider them important members of the
healthcare team. Parents are afforded the
opportunity to participate in their child’s
treatment planning and care. When the child is not
getting therapy, individual goals are intermingled
with educational, recreational and social
activities.
