An Atmosphere of Caring For The Whole Child

History of Voorhees Pediatric Facility

History of Voorhees Pediatric Facility

In 1982, the State of NJ approached the owners of our organization and asked them to open a program for children with medical complexity. Since that time, Voorhees Pediatric Facility has grown into a nationally recognized pediatric specialty care center that offers 119 in-patient beds and is one of the largest freestanding pediatric ventilator programs in the country.

Since then, Voorhees Pediatric Facility has grown to also include The Bancroft School at Voorhees Pediatric Facility, Voorhees Pediatric Medical Day Care and Voorhees Pediatric Rehabilitation Services.

Resident Centered Care

We honor the contributions of each family’s racial, ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic background and accept unique preferences for the planning and delivery of health care. We strive to keep the focus on what is best for the child’s short term and long term well-being and to include the family in this decision making process. We strive to see the world through others eyes and treat each child and family with respect. We work to apply this empathy in all of our departments, and at all levels of our care. We want to provide the best home that we can for the children that live at Voorhees Pediatric Facility.

Yes. Where they receive those services is determined by the child study team (which includes parents, school district child study team case worker, social worker, learning consultant, speech therapist and psychologist). Educational options include The Bancroft School at VPF, public or special education community schools.
