AKRON, Ohio — In 2019, Akron Children's Hospital began a $14 million renovation project of one of its busiest departments, Rehabilitative Services. The space is now complete and set to open to patients on Dec. 6, according to the hospital.
The expansion that took space from the former NICU, and added 22,000 square-feet to the front of the hospital, has easier accessibility and improves former mobility challenges allowing parents bringing their children to therapy the ability to drive up to the door of the department instead of crossing pedestrian bridges.
The space, just like the rest of the hospital is designed"Through the Eyes of a Child" with bright colors, colorful wall art created by children and interactive features. A new"inclusive" outdoor playground was specially designed for use in therapy for children with all abilities.
