History
In 1982 the State of NJ approached the owners of this organization and asked them to open a program for medically fragile children. Since that time, Voorhees Pediatric Facility has grown into a nationally recognized pediatric specialty care center that offers 119 in-patient beds and the largest freestanding pediatric ventilator program in the country. VPF continues to be recognized as a leader in pediatric healthcare, and in 2013 VPF received the highest accreditation awarded by The Joint Commission. In addition, VPF has expanded to include The Bancroft School at Voorhees Pediatric Facility, an on-site private school for medically fragile/technology dependent children, Voorhees Pediatric Facility Medical Daycare, and Voorhees Pediatric Rehabilitation Services(VPRS).
