Rehabilitation Services Now Extend to Children

Golden Valley Memorial Healthcare is pleased to offer enhanced pediatric physical therapy and occupational therapy services to the community.  Offering this specialty service, provided by experienced pediatric therapists, allows for improved care delivered here at home.  GVMH therapists are able to treat a variety of pediatric diagnoses, including sensory dysfunction, developmental and neurological deficits, and orthopedic conditions at our outpatient facility located in Clinton.

The GVMH Foundation awarded a $2,800 grant to the Rehab department to initiate this program which had not previously been available in this community. The Foundation grant will enable GVMH to begin to provide and grow needed pediatric therapy services on an ongoing basis.

For more information or to schedule an appointment with GVMH Rehab services, call 660-890-7190.
