Children's Specialized Hospital Foundation

Children’s Specialized Hospital is the nation’s leading provider of inpatient and outpatient care for children from birth to 21 years of age facing special health challenges – from chronic illnesses and complex physical disabilities like brain and spinal cord injuries, to a full scope of developmental, behavioral, and mental health concerns. For over 130 years CSH has been an invaluable resource for families seeking specialized care for their children. At 15 different New Jersey locations, pediatric specialists partner with families to bring innovative therapies and medical treatments in a more personalized and effective way so each child can reach their full potential.

• Spinal cord injuries
• Infant and toddler rehabilitation
• Chronic pain management
• Developmental and behavioral pediatrics, including autism and depression, focusing on physical, emotional, and psychological development, learning, and behavior from infancy through young adulthood
• Pediatric trauma services (i.e., ventilator management, tracheostomy care, IV antibiotic administration, wound care)
• Brain injuries
• Physical Therapy
• Lymphedema (swelling due to the accumulation of lymphatic fluid around skin cells)
• Fetal alcohol syndrome

CSH is devoted to first-rate wellness and safety, which is why the patient-family centric facility focuses on individualized treatment and therapy for every patient. With a wide range of accepted health insurance providers, the hospital ensures that each child is awarded the best care that is unique to their needs. The inpatient program was the first pediatric rehabilitation center in the country to be recognized as a Top Hospital by LeapFrog, along with accreditations from the Joint Commission and American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. CSH’s reputation of remarkable care was also noted in their Independent Patient Satisfactory Survey, when almost every parent said they would recommend Children’s Specialized Hospital to others.

The Children’s Specialized Hospital and its dedicated staff are focused on enabling ill or injured children the opportunity to maximize their health and quality of life by providing best in class inpatient and outpatient care and resources.   And by improving the lives of children, they also enrich the lives of the families who love them.
