Description
St. Mary's Healthcare System for Children is committed to improving the health and quality of life for children and families with special needs.
St. Mary's Healthcare System is one of the few organizations around the country that is dedicated to providing intensive rehabilitation, specialized care, and education to children with special needs and life-limiting conditions.
Following hospitalizations in acute care facilities for complications from premature birth, illness, and injury, or when special services are needed, children and their families come to St. Mary's to receive care, learn to manage their illness or injury, and achieve a better quality of life. As the largest provider of long-term home healthcare for children in New York State and one of the nation's leading providers of pediatric post-acute care, St. Mary's provides a continuum of care, treating nearly 4,000 children each day throughout the metropolitan area through a network of inpatient, home care and community programs and services, setting a standard of excellence in pediatric healthcare.
St. Mary's is a not-for-profit healthcare organization.
