Cumberland Hospital for Children and Adolescents (ages 2-22) doesnt look like a hospital because it isnt like most hospitals; it is a unique environment that offers a different approach to help children with complex needs. Children who repeatedly fail in conventional settings find new opportunities at Cumberland. We understand the unique psychological, social and behavioral challenges that often interfere with successful treatment of diabetes, chronic diseases, brain injury, neurological impairment, eating disorders, and other medical conditions. Our on-site staff of nurses, physicians and specialists addresses these issues by treating both body and mind, paralleling medical protocols with strategies to analyze and successfully modify behavior over time. Through an interdisciplinary approach we stabilize medical problems and help children develop positive behavioral coping strategies. We help families cope with their childs illnesses or injuries, enabling the child to achieve the best level of function possible at home, in school and in their community. CUMBERLAND’S SUCCESSFUL FORMULA:Pediatric and adolescent focus; Physical and emotional issues treated in tandem; Treatment of complex medical issues; Ability to manage aggressive behaviors; On-site physicians and specialists; Nursing and medical services; Creative treatment approaches; On-site Cumberland Academy; Peaceful, therapeutic setting; Practical life-skills training
