Services include diagnostic evaluations such as gait analysis, clinical laboratory services, and radiological tests. The hospital also has a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, rehabilitation facilities with a hydrotherapy pool and a team of specialty physicians, therapists and social workers. Comprehensive rehabilitation, medical and surgical care is provided in both Shriners' inpatient and outpatient settings at no charge. Care is provided by a multidisciplinary team in which the patient and family are also important members. There are two general nursing care units and a pediatric intensive care unit.
Patients stay on age appropriate units.
Each unit has a nurse manager who is responsible for overseeing the nursing care and general operation of the unit. Please feel free to contact the nurse manager for special concerns. Each patient is assigned to a registered nurse who coordinates a child's care. The primary therapeutic goal is to increase each child's level of functioning and promote independence. The family is involved with each child's therapy program.
