In our continued commitment to provide exceptional, accessible care to the communities we serve, Carle Health is proud to announce the expansion of pediatric outpatient therapy services on the Methodist Hospital campus, including the installation of a brand-new sensory gym.
Access to physical, speech, and occupational therapy services that are critical to the well-being of families and children across our community has continued to be a challenge.
Carle Health, in partnership with Professional Therapy Services, is addressing this care gap by bringing improved outpatient therapy services for patients of all ages. The expansion of this clinic represents our commitment to addressing the increasing demand for pediatric therapy services.
With enhanced space and additional staffing, we are improving access to Outpatient Occupational Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology and Physical Therapy, ensuring that children and their families can receive the care they need in a timely manner.
This state-of-the-art facility enables our dedicated therapists to provide comprehensive and compassionate care that supports children in achieving their fullest potential.
“The dedication of our team members is such a big part of what makes this growth in services possible,” Mark Kuhn, Carle Health Greater Peoria Vice President of Ambulatory Services, said. “We know by bringing together this innovative facility along with the expertise and commitment to patient care our compassionate team of care providers offer, families will see greater health outcomes – especially for our youngest patients.”
The state-of-the-art sensory gym is a space designed with intention and a deep understanding of how children grow and learn.
Each piece of equipment was thoughtfully chosen to support children in their therapeutic journey, addressing not only physical development but also sensory processing challenges.
“This sensory gym is a testament to our commitment to providing children with the tools they n
eed to thrive. It’s the result of an extraordinary team that never loses sight of what truly matters—our patients and their families. While we know our facility won’t fix the issues surrounding timely care overnight, we are proud to be breaking down barriers to access.” Colleen James, Pediatric Site Manager, said.
This expanded space is just one part of the continuum of outpatient therapy services designed to help patients of all ages to reach their fullest potential. Across the Carle Health system, we offer unique, specialty care from acute care to outpatient therapy.
Our therapy team is highly trained in more than 15 specialties, with the skills and compassion to create a customized treatment plan that works for the patient and their family.
We also know that convenience is key and offer the flexibility to receive therapy services at multiple facilities, to receive care closest to home.
