Inpatient Rehabilitation Services

Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital was the first hospital in Broward and Palm Beach counties to offer comprehensive acute inpatient rehabilitation for children and adolescents. Our team of pediatric rehabilitation specialists focuses on restoring function, improving mobility and increasing the overall quality of life for hospitalized kids in need of rehabilitation. We feature one of two pediatric inpatient rehabilitation programs in Florida certified by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and the only CARF-accredited program in South Florida.

We offer patient- and family-centered care designed to help each child reach their full potential. Our team includes doctors specializing in pediatric rehabilitation (physiatrists), rehabilitation certified nurses, physical and occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, pediatric neuropsychologists, exercise physiologists, child life specialists and other healthcare professionals. Together, we are dedicated to helping your child live the best life possible.

In addition, our pediatric intensivists and pediatric hospitalists specialize in care for seriously ill children. At Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, these specialists provide 24-hour, in-hospital coverage for pediatric patients in our six-bed unit.

We offer:

• Access to a fully staffed children’s hospital and its wide range of services and specialties
• Continuous assessment of your child’s health, abilities and progress
• Extensive, targeted treatments for shorter hospital stays and better results
• Large, private rooms with enough space for family members to stay overnight
