Midlothian Therapy Center Prepares for Move to Bon Air

Beginning in December, patients at Children’s Hospital’s Midlothian Therapy Center in South Richmond will receive services at the new Bon Air Therapy Center.

Located in the Sheltering Arms Bon Air facility near Buford Road and Midlothian Turnpike approximately five miles from the current site, the new 5,300-square-foot therapy center will have two gyms, two sensory motor areas, seven private treatment spaces and a psychology office, offering more space for each child seen in therapy.

Since the current Polo Parkway location opened in Oct. 2002, demand for pediatric physical, occupational and speech therapy services nearly doubled from 4,494 visits in fiscal year 2003 to 9,086 visits in fiscal year 2009. Psychology services were added in 2005, with approximately 750 psychology visits completed in Midlothian each year.

In addition to increased treatment areas, the Bon Air location will feature a larger waiting room with a dedicated children’s nook, additional bathrooms and more staff and office space. Supported through donations from the Denny Hamlin Foundation and the Junior Board, the Bon Air Therapy Center serves children from the counties of Chesterfield, Powhatan, Amelia, Cumberland, Nottoway, Dinwiddie, Prince Edward and the City of Richmond.
