The centers are Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center and the Komansky Center for Children’s Health at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
The new Pediatric Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Service will employ techniques such as physical therapy, biofeedback, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to improve the child’s physical movement and coordination, speech, vision, and intellectual development.
