Phyllis C Meyerhoff Center for Pediatric and Adolescent Rehabilitation
The Phyllis C. Meyerhoff Center for Pediatric and Adolescent Rehabilitation is a special unit that provides a wide range of care, including medical treatment, nursing, psychology, therapy for speech, physical, and occupational needs, and respiratory support. This unit is designed for children and teens with complex health issues, including problems with their muscles, brain, or development. Our goal is to help each child reach their full potential and improve their quality of life, all in a caring environment that focuses on families.
While your child is involved in therapy and activities, you can be confident they are getting high-quality care. Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital (MWPH) is well-known for its leadership in helping children recover and grow stronger. A comprehensive treatment plan for supportive services will be developed in the first days of the child’s admission.
Our inpatient rehab program provides at least three hours of therapy each day, five to six days a week, as required by funding rules. The team of providers, nurses, and therapists work together to support your child’s treatment.
