The new tranisitional Care Unit is designed to help children recovering from injury or illness transition from hospital to home.

Certified and licensed staff provide specialty, pediatric care that will address each child's developmental, medical, and rehabilitative needs in a family-centerred, child-focused environment. In addition, through multiple learning opporunities, staff assist parents with the education and support needed to successfully transition their child home.

Each child and family is supported by a care team that understands the child's needs. A care plan focusing on growth, development, and play-based treatment will be designed to transition the child home.
