At Children’s Health℠, we know that cancer and cancer treatment are hard on a child's body. Oncology therapy experts at Children's Health are physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians (called physiatrists). Pediatric oncologists specialize in treating your child’s cancer, but oncology physiatrists focus on preventing and managing the short- and long-term health issues caused by cancer and cancer treatment.
Our team specializes in a variety of therapies to help children improve speech, language, thinking, learning, motor and mobility skills that cancer or its treatment may have impaired. Our program’s unique format, unmatched expertise and top-notch technology position us as national leaders in helping children facing cancer get the rehabilitative care they need to live comfortable, independent lives.
We also integrate physiatrist care into their plan in addition to therapist involvement.
