30:4D-7g. Findings, declarations relative to pediatric rehabilitation hospitals.
1. The Legislature finds and declares that:
a. Currently, there are two pediatric rehabilitation hospitals in the State that provide pediatric inpatient and ambulatory rehabilitation and pediatric long-term care services to children throughout the State. These hospitals offer a variety of medical, developmental and educational services to children with severe disabilities and chronic illnesses; and
b. There is a tremendous need in the State for the unique services provided by these facilities, and few providers within the health care community have the capability and expertise to properly treat the special needs of these children.
