Elizabeth Seton Children's operates the largest residential medical center for medically complex children in the United States, serving over 2,000 children annually. The organisation provides integrated care across three main facilities: a residential medical center, a special education school, and a rehabilitation center offering comprehensive therapies. Approximately 99% of families served qualify for Medicaid, with most families experiencing economic disadvantage.
The organisation's approach centres on holistic, patient-centred care delivered in a home-like environment. This encompasses paediatric medicine, special education, rehabilitation therapies, and therapeutic recreation, all structured around family involvement. The focus extends beyond medical treatment to encompass dignity, joy, and celebration within the care experience.
