MINOT, N.D. (KMOT) – Enhanced therapeutic care for children in the Magic City is now more accessible. On Monday, Trinity Health West opened a new pediatric therapy gym.
The facility includes two calming rooms and a sensory gym.
Each area is designed to be a stress-free environment where children can receive physical, occupational, and speech therapy services.
By playing and exploring, patients can improve core strength and processing skills while providing social interaction.
Wade McDowell, director of therapeutic services, said the project took about a year to complete, but it was worth it.
“Their work is play. That’s how they learn, grow and develop. And this is a space built around play,” McDowell said.
McDowell’s favorite part of the project was the mural, which connected with the project’s generous donors, but also the landscape and details that could be used for therapeutic techniques.
The gym is made possible through generous donations from Town and Country Credit Union and Trinity Health Foundation.
