Physical Medicine, Rehabilitation, and Therapy at Phoenix Children’s Hospital
Children, unlike adults, need to continue with their development while they are trying to recover from an illness or injury. Because kids are still growing and their brains are still developing, experts who understand the unique needs of a child and how a child learns are vital to the success of that child's recovery.
That's why our rehabilitation program at Phoenix Children's Hospital is made up of pediatric trained physicians, nurses, and therapists who are specially trained in caring for growing children.
Our aim is to allow each child to achieve his/her optimal level of functional independence, using a coordinated, multidisciplinary, family-centered team of professionals. This team, along with the family, will develop a treatment plan and goals for each patient based on his or her specific injury, illness, or disability.
