The bill mandates the Department of Public Health to submit a comprehensive report on the status of the Pappas Rehabilitation Hospital for Children to the joint committee on public health and the house and senate committees on ways and means. This report is required to be submitted monthly starting from August 18, 2025, and must include detailed information on the services and programs offered by the hospital, 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 highlights the hospital's focus on medically complex care, behavioral health challenges, and special education services. Additionally, the report notes a significant service reduction in aquatic therapy due to structural issues with the pool, which has been deemed cost-prohibitive to repair. The report also provides census data as of January 1, 2025, and details the number of admissions and discharges for each month, along with the total number of full-time equivalent staff employed at the hospital.
