Services provide physical and occupational therapy to Florida children who do not have easy access to such services. These services are provided in the patient’s home without regard to the ability to pay. The program strives to provide the highest quality services possible to this special population.
This rehabilitation is carried out in the patient’s home because of the absence of these services locally, or because the patient is medically infirmed at home. Priority is given to children who do not have ready access to therapy as a result of financial considerations.
The Florida Elks are staffed with 28 therapists (21 occupational and 7 physical) and they are licensed to practice by the state of Florida. With 26 mobile units, our therapists are treating children throughout the state covering most of its 67 counties.
The services received by patients who meet eligibility requirements are absolutely free. Children’s Therapy Services does not receive any financial assistance from any level of government. Instead, we receive funding from the earnings from the Harry-Anna Trust, Elks state Lodges, Florida Elks Ladies organizations, the Elks National Foundation, and from generous public donations.
