A child’s ability to perform tasks typical for their age will be assessed in the treatment and splinting room. According to the JPCHF website, children who have experienced an injury or weakness may require splints or other specialized equipment to help their bodies achieve desired positions, provide protection and assist with their recovery and function.

B&B Construction Group’s donation support the ‘We Are Saskatchewan’ capital campaign for the JPCHF, which has raised $68 million towards a minimum goal of $75 million.

The Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital is scheduled to open in this fall.
