Delivered by emergency Caesarean-section at Florida Hospital for Children, he weighed a scant one pound, 10 ounces, and was just 12 inches long. He spent five months in Florida Hospital for Children’s NICU, requiring additional surgeries to repair a bilateral inguinal hernia and insert a feeding tube to help him get the nutrition he needed.

SCT is a well-established treatment for many pediatric conditions, including leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, bone marrow failure syndromes, and hemoglobinopathies such as sickle cell disease and immunodeficiencies. A particular area of interest for our SCT team is sickle cell disease (SCD). In addition, the team has partnered with the University of Chicago for nurse training and education and Duke University for clinical consultation and patient care. The eight-bed unit features advanced designs including a high-efficiency (HEPA) airfiltration system to prevent infections and large, private rooms with age-appropriate amenities to make the patients’ extended stay a comfortable one.

Pediatric Rehabilitation PEDIATRIC ACUTE CARE AND OUTPATIENT REHABILITATION Helping children overcome disabilities, diseases, injuries and developmental problems, the pediatric acute care and outpatient rehabilitation experts develop or restore skills to the patient to promote independence and maximize function in daily-living tasks. Diagnoses may include neurological impairments, congenital heart problems, orthopaedic injuries, childhood cancer, feeding and swallowing disorders, neuromotor impairments, sensory integration disorders, autism spectrum disorders and other developmental concerns. The interdisciplinary team provides the following services at the acute-care hospitals and in the outpatient centers based upon the child’s needs: occupational, physical, speech and feeding therapy; and audiology services. All disciplines evaluate and set goals to provide a customized treatment program. Once goals are agreed upon by physicians, parents and staff, then education is provided to all caregivers to ensure support and carry-over. In all health care settings, parents and caregivers are encouraged to participate in treatment sessions to assist the child and reinforce newly learned/relearned skills.
