Blythedale Children’s Hospital opened the new Milton Spahn Therapy Village, as well as a new Simulation Lab and Parent Training Center.
The newly renovated and expanded 5,000-square-foot center for physical and occupational therapy incorporates the latest advances in rehabilitation medicine and state-of-the-art technologies to promote recovery for the more than 170 children, and 50 therapists, who use it daily. The new Simulation Lab comprises high-tech spaces that replicate bedside and home environments where parents learn how to care for their medically fragile child in a supportive, controlled environment, in preparation of their discharge home.
The expansion of these two new spaces was part of a $27 million capital project that began in the fall of 2020. Other facets of “Phase 4” construction include an expanded and modernized pharmacy, administrative office suite, Assistive Technology workshop, and the addition of eight new beds to the Traumatic Brain Injury Unit.
