Pediatric Amputation Rehabilitation at Mary Free Bed Kids

At Mary Free Bed Kids, our pediatric-focused, family-centered amputation rehabilitation team provides expert care for babies, children, adolescents and teens—supporting them every step of the way, from acute recovery to long-term independence.

Our mission is to make recovery feel hopeful and achievable.
