| Pediatric
Rehab
Pediatric Rehab began here at High Point
Regional Health System in 1999, when we added physical and
occupational therapy to our existing pediatric speech therapy
program. The need in our community caused rapid program
growth, which lead to the development of our new space.
We are proud of our new “kid- and family-friendly
space.” We now offer a dedicated pediatric waiting
room and treatment areas, all within the convenience
of
our Rehab Center. We have a doctor-friendly referral
process and on-site parking, registration and scheduling
for the ease of the parents. Ours is the only pediatric
rehab treatment program in the greater High Point area.
All members of our Pediatric Rehab team have master’s
degrees and specialty training in pediatric rehabilitation.
Our team can treat patients from premature babies through
the teen-age years. We are capable of treating acute injuries
such as fractures or long-term needs such as birth defects,
autism, developmental delays and congenital illnesses. Our
team also offers state-of-the-art evaluation and treatment
tools and provides the physician with monthly updates. We
pride ourselves on working closely with our families and
physicians to set and obtain goals that are best for our
children.
The Pediatric Rehab Center is located at High Point Regional’s
Rehab Center, 600 North Elm Street, High Point.

Community Outreach
At High Point Regional Health System, we do more than provide
therapy for kids with special health care needs. We reach
out to our
community with several other pediatric-related programs.
For instance, we serve as an Amtryke demo site and provide
free evaluations of children to determine if they will
benefit from a modified tricycle, called a “tryke.”
In addition, we host the “Piedmont Peds Therapists,”
a professional network of pediatric therapists in the greater
Piedmont area. This network provides therapists with the
chance to share ideas and skills and helps them learn more
about available community resources.
We also host “Camp Rainbow,” a weeklong camp
for kids with disabilities that includes arts, crafts, field
trips and food preparation.
These activities, as part of our Pediatric Rehab Program,
have been designed with the desire to provide the best treatment
and service possible to kids with special needs within our
community.
