PPEC Therapies
Great Strides Rehabilitation is the primary service provider for pediatric therapy services in the Jacksonville PPEC facilities. Having therapies available on-site at the PPEC facility can make a huge difference for families, especially those juggling multiple appointments or dealing with transportation challenges. It not only saves time but also reduces the stress of traveling to different locations for each therapy session.
GSR has been a leading provider for pediatric therapy in the Jacksonville area for over 20 years. Our multi-disciplinary team consists of physical, occupational, speech, and music therapists. Our experienced and dedicated therapists have allowed us to foster relationships with other organizations to provide therapy services in the Jacksonville and surrounding areas.
