Pediatric Therapy Options Expand Locally as Regional Sites Shift

Palm Beach Gardens, FL · August 2, 2026

Sunday morning brings a humid breeze and a quiet window to get organized before the August rush kicks in. Grab a coffee and take a quick look at what's shaping up across the neighborhood today.

The Lead

Local families navigating pediatric therapy have a critical timeline to keep in mind as Bethesda Hospital prepares to wind down pediatric rehabilitation services across three Palm Beach County locations on August 21. While existing patient appointments will be fully honored through the deadline, clinic staff are actively guiding parents through record transfers and care transitions to community providers, including several specialized clinics located right here in town. The shift has prompted North County pediatric physical, occupational, and speech therapists to expand summer scheduling to absorb incoming patients without care interruptions. Families currently receiving services through Bethesda should check in with their care coordinators this week to secure placement with local providers before the mid-August transition window closes.
