In 1982 the State of NJ approached the owners of this organization and asked them to consider opening a program for medically fragile children. Since that time, Voorhees Pediatric Facility has grown into a nationally recognized pediatric specialty care center that offers 119 in-patient beds and the largest freestanding pediatric ventilator program in the country.

VPF has set new standards for skilled nursing and rehabilitative care along with the state-of-the-art respiratory care program, and it has continued to be recognized by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) as a leader in pediatric healthcare. This year VPF received the highest accreditation awarded by JCAHO.

In addition, VPF is also home to The Bancroft School at Voorhees Pediatric Facility, an on-site private school for medically fragile and technology dependent children; Voorhees Pediatric Medical Daycare; and Voorhees Pediatric Rehabilitation Services (VPRS), a subcontracting agency offering rehabilitative and medical services to a variety of community settings.
