Improving Breathing, Increasing Health
ChildServe offers a unique, kid and family-focused place for children and young adults to heal from injuries and receive complex medical care for ongoing needs. Our Respiratory Therapy service focuses on improving or stabilizing breathing function lost due to illness or injury. ChildServe’s pediatric specialists provide medical care, intensive therapy, adaptive equipment, and recreational activities. As children and young adults reach their health and independence goals, we support them by coordinating with schools and outpatient or community services for a smooth transition to home.
