Therapy Pool at the New Elizabeth Seton Pediatric Center in NY

The photo above shows the impressive new therapy pool at the new Elizabeth Seton Pediatric Center campus in Yonkers, N.Y. The pool is just one part in the overall goal. According to Elizabeth Seton CEO Pat Tursi:

“We wanted the children to have the full experience and joys of childhood,” says Tursi. “We have loving and dedicated staff and great kids, but we were lacking the physical environment to enhance that and bring it to a different level. We were able to create a space that would hold all of the creative and innovative ideas for the kids to thrive and grow and ultimately to reach their developmental milestones.”
