Medically Complex Services - IV therapy - Nutritional therapy via gastrostomy, jejunostomy, NG or NJ - Palliative care - Respiratory therapy - Tracheostomy care - Skilled nursing observation following casting or surgeries - Suctioning, oxygen administration - Ventilator use and weaning Inpatient Rehabilitation Program This program serves children needing rehabilitation after accidents, illness, or surgery.
