CHILDREN'S CARE REHABILITATION CENTER HAS MOVED TO NEW, LARGER SPACE

POSTED: JUN 14, 2011

The new space, located at the corner of 18^th Street and Grange Avenue, provides an additional 2000 square feet for outpatient services.

The facility provides pediatric therapies (physical, occupational, and speech) and audiology services under the banner of Children's Care, as well as orthotic, prosthetic, and assistive device sales and service to adults and children as a part of Rehabilitation Medical Supply. The staff includes three assistive technology professionals, plus technicians that customize wheelchairs, communication devices, and environmental controls to help individuals of all ages with disabilities live as independently as possible. The Rehabilitation Medical Supply staff also includes a certified prosthetist and three certified orthotists. Rehabilitation physician Julie A. Johnson, MD, sees rehabilitation patients of all ages, and, along with pediatric neurologist Jorge D. Sanchez, provides the TEAM (Tone Evaluation And Management) Clinic for individuals with muscle tone issues.

Children's Care Hospital & School is an independent, non-profit organization which has provided services to individuals with developmental and acquired disabilities since 1952.

Last year the organization as a whole, which includes an outpatient and outreach center in Rapid City, served nearly 2,000 children and adults.

"There's no way to thank Children's Care for what they've done four our family. They've taught Caleb so much - independence and perseverance and courage. The whole staff is so helpful and encouraging to us; there's no place like Children's Care where Caleb can get all his needs met in one place."
