SAVE THE DATE: From Hospital to Home: Early Therapy Helps High-Risk Babies Move, Grow, and Thrive | Webinar
Thursday, January 29, 2025 | 12–1 p.m. CST
Babies leaving the neonatal intensive care unit often face long delays in accessing the therapy they need, especially those covered by public insurance. Research shows that delivering physical therapy immediately after discharge is not only feasible, but it significantly improves motor development during the most critical months of life. Acting early opens the door to better outcomes and ensures every child has the chance to reach their full potential.
Jessica Trenkle, PT, DPT, is a board-certified clinical specialist in pediatric physical therapy and assistant professor of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
Ali Liddle, PT, MPP, PCS (pictured right), is associated faculty in the Department of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
Stay tuned for more information coming in January 2026.
