Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt (Nashville, Tenn.) is planning to add a new pediatric rehabilitation unit in Nashville, according to newschannel5.com.
Part of Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC; Nashville), the children’s hospital currently does not offer pediatric rehab services. The planned addition will provide physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as psychological support services in one dedicated space.
Design plans are still in progress, but the unit is expected to include 12 patient rooms dedicated to the specialized care of children recovering from injury or illness, a gym, and spaces for activities of daily living, according to VUMC.
