The bill mandates the Department of Public Health to submit a monthly report to the joint committee on public health and the house and senate committees on ways and means regarding the status of the Pappas Rehabilitation Hospital for Children. This report, due by August 18, 2025, must include a summary of available services and programs, any reductions or terminations of services, patient census data, monthly admissions and discharges, and the total number of staff employed at the facility, categorized by profession.
The report outlines various services provided by the hospital, including medical, therapeutic, recreational, and educational services. It also details a service reduction in aquatic therapy due to a critical incident involving a leaking pool, which is currently under assessment for repair options. The census data indicates that as of January 1, 2025, there were 39 patients, and the report provides a breakdown of admissions and discharges for each month since then. Additionally, the report lists the total number of full-time equivalent staff employed at the hospital, which amounts to 212.74, including various medical and educational professionals.
