Kids Celina Wise, MSPT, PCS, returns to the University of Chicago Children's Hospital as supervisor of the new pediatric physical therapy team. Previously, pediatric PT was not a separate service and therapists reported to an adult care supervisor. She is pleased to parallel the growth of the new pediatric physical therapy team with the K.I.D.S. First initiative.

There are only 240 such specialists nationwide.
Certification requires specialized knowledge and advanced clinical proficiency in pediatrics.
