Healthcare Center

For Our Children

Our Children’s Healthcare Center provides care for medically fragile and/or technology-dependent children, ages newborn through 21 years.
Most children are admitted from a hospital NICU or PICU. This program focuses on patients who no longer require acute care, but who need significant medical attention related to wound therapy, PICC antibiotics, post-surgical care, NG, GJ tube feedings, and ventilator care. The Center is a “home away from home” for medically fragile children and their families.

Our 16-bed facility offers child/adolescent-friendly and welcoming rooms. There are separate rooms for physical therapy, learning, eating and play, as well as rooms for parents to stay overnight.

Mothers and Children

For too many years, expectant or parenting women struggling with mental illness or addiction were at risk of losing custody of their child. Maryville’s healing approach keeps mothers together with their children while the mother receives therapy for addiction and mental health issues, learns parenting skills, job readiness training, and builds her confidence. Just as important, keeping children with their mothers fosters the healthy bonds that create long-term family stability.

Transforming Juvenile Justice

For 14-18 year old boys and girls who struggle with significant mental health issues and are involved in the juvenile justice system, Maryville has created a family focused collaborative structure where staff, youth, and the youth’s family work together to create a plan in order to minimize regression and incarceration. The programs focus on their educational, vocational, social, coping, and interpersonal needs.
